Chemical Engineering: Treasurer

Hey guys it's Peter,

I am here (again) to run for the ChemEngSoc Treasurer. It has been my third year on the ChemEngSoc committee, and I can guarantee that hardly anyone can beat my insight into the Society's finance.

Having managed several societies's accounts, I am experienced in

  • handling various corporate transactions
  • liaising with companies and negotiating for sponsorship (more free pizzas, wine & cheese, etc)
  • budgeting for existing and new events
  • coordinating with industrial relations and event officers to bring the best experience

What can you expect from me as a treasurer? I will make sure every transaction is made on time to support the event and, more importantly, get more bang for the buck! My goals for the upcoming year are

  • Ensuring a balance between revenues and expenditure
  • Bringing to you all a variety of social events such as New Year's Dinner, Pub nights, End of Term Parties, etc (I can hear someone calling for Boat Parties...)
  • Partnering with IR officers to diversify companies' sponsorships
  • Listening to members' opinions and exploring ideas for fresh events

Give me a shout whenever any exciting events come into your mind! I am here to strive to make them a reality! Vote me for the treasurer!
