[SUCS] Could you run a society?

[Alexander Moras]

Hey everyone - long time no see.

First of all existing members (not you, freshers), *make sure you renew 
your membership to SUCS as we get rid of old accounts in December!* You 
don't want to lose all your data, websites and virtual machines so head 
over to https://sucs.org/join and get your membership renewed. Once 
you've done that, you're sorted. You don't need to worry!

*_Where have we been?_*

That's actually a really good question. SUCS has been really quiet this 
year. We've been going through a lot of changes internally with how we 
manage things. This inherently slows us down and means we haven't been 
very active recently. But that's all about to change!


*_Elections and stuff_*

We run our elections for the Executive Committee based on the calendar 
year (due to some quirks of us predating the SU). And it's getting near 
that time. We have a few positions that are open this year.

  * President - oversees the operation of the society and it's executives.
  * Treasurer - money, money, money! You deal with where our money goes.
  * Secretary - deals with the day to day things. Sorts out memberships
    and things like that.
  * Publicity - you're the social media guru! You will spend all day on
    Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and everything else in between.
  * Events - our new position! Your job is to organise the hackathons,
    meet ups and most importantly; Fresher's Fayre!

*First years are more than welcome in any of these roles!* (I was first 
year when I became President)


*_Like tech? Of course you do!_*

We also have a load of non-executive positions, known as our admins. You 
run the technology that keeps the society alive. Anyone with experience 
in programming, Linux and other open-source software is the ideal 
candidate. It's really easy to become an admin. Just email 
admin at sucs.org then we'll make a decision with what to do.


*_Next steps..._*

You will get an email in the next week or so explaining in a lot more 
detail what all of this is about and how to be put forward for 
elections. *If you think that someone who isn't currently a member may 
be suitable - get them to sign up now as they MUST be a member for at 
least 14 days.*


Anyway, you'll have more information about this in the next few days. If 
you've got any questions in the meantime - feel free to email 
exec at sucs.org <mailto:exec at sucs.org> with any issues you may have.


Thanks!


Alex Moras (aka Vectre)
President
