Hockey: Junior Treasurer

Who am I?

  • Avid member of team steam (missed 2)

Why am I running for treasurer?

  • I have the right qualities and skills to be a proficient treasurer
  • My aim is to have a significant role within the committee
  • The experience and skills I will gain will be valuable going forward
  • LinkedIn stat padding

Club overview and my role

  • Imperial Union Grant forms 2/3 of ICHC income; the remaining 1/3 is from memberships.
  • The largest expense for ICHC is transport, around £7,000 a term, with coach hire being almost all of that.
  • The Union Grant must be spent completely each year and subsidises club events like dinners and tours.
  • My role is to ensure no stupid things happen with club money and there is money to subsidise everything.
  • I promise to make a significant effort to be fast to approve claims as it is annoying to wait for people to pay me back.

What makes me the right candidate?

I track everything in my life in a big spreadsheet to control my spending.

Facts about my spending:

  • I bought 434.6 units of alcohol for £542.45 last term
  • I’ve reduced my daily spending by 17.6% from last term to this term.
  • My expenditure in Slug has gone up 17.7%.

I’ve managed my money to allow me to go on both ICHC Summer tour and Imperial Ski Trip. I will apply this to ICHC Treasurer and help manage the club effectively. ICHC will be flawless financially.
