Edit: The position of "Performance Officer" has been replaced with "First Year Representative" this year. For those of you panicking about the inevitable shifting of the universe that comes with every Monash Wushu Club Annual General Meeting, here is a review of the positions available. The AGM is on the 25th of August 2008 (Monday). We will also fit in some training that day (hooray). President: The President guides the vision and direction of the club. They make the most of the committee to pursue our best interests and development. This includes ensuring finances, morale, sustainability, competitiveness etc. are at a high standard. They must understand the workings of the club, and use their knowledge to ensure things get done. Further, they should have a keen interest in wushu (you should all have a keen interest in wushu!) Vice-President: The Vice-President is the primary contact between Monash Wushu and the rest of Monash University, particularly Monash Sport. This includes responsibility for booking performance times and stall space during O-week, handling changes to training (e.g. if we are moved from the Games Hall) etc. As the name suggests, the VP also assists the President with "getting stuff done". Treasurer: Responsible for all the club’s finances. This job has straighforward tasks that can be learnt and followed easily but require the responsibility to carry out well and correctly each time. (Importantly, this crosses over easily into career skills and personal finance skills you may need in the future). The treasurer records and interacts with Monash Sport, our bank, performance clients and receives membership fees. Marketing Officer: We couldn’t perform if no one knew who we were! The marketing officer keeps tabs of who we regularly perform for (e.g. Chinese New Year in the city) and approaches people we might perform for (e.g. schools, other unis, council festivals, etc.). Our performance pack, which contains information and a demonstration CD of our club, is available for distribution to potential clients. The marketing officer also keeps our fliers up to date for events like O-week and large performances for handing out to interested members of the public. First Year Representative: Newbies who would like to get in on all the behind the scenes action apply here! The committee thinks and works together and the first year rep. is no exception :D If there are issues or ideas for beginners training or how other beginners are getting along the FYR is your (wo)man on the inside. Secretary: No easy task! The secretary must be unbelievably attractive and intellectually outstanding. How else would they be able to handle the heavy load of writing down the important points of committee meetings? Or keep a current database of MWC members? Or get uniforms for members through Master Tang? The secretary is also simultaneously awarded “Most Amazing Person” upon becoming secretary. The committee works together (like a family! who look nothing alike) toward the success of the Monash Wushu Club. We share a lot of tasks and come up with lots of ideas, making the whole process fun and interesting rather than intimidating. Don’t be afraid to nominate yourself or others! <33 Soapcretary
