Committee
The BUHABS committee is the heart of the club. There are several post (detailed below) which come up for grabs each year at the AGM. If positions are not filled at this time, they can be done at a later date by co-opting people onto the committee.
If you are a current (or indeed prospective) member, but wish to become more involved with BUHABS than just a going on a few flights and socials, why not join the committee? Apart from the usual selling points of 'good for your CV' etc (which it is), it is not too demanding on your time (unlike others) and is also an excellent way to get to know the most active people in the club. Many people go on to serve multiple terms because they enjoy it so much.
| President | The president's responsibility is the smooth running of the society. The position involves helping other committee members when needed, chairing meetings (usually) and keeping members informed about the societies activities. The position is only open to those holding a student union card. |
| Secretary | The secretary is responsible for liaison with sponsors and other external bodies, keeping minutes and other official society business. The secretary is usually the first point of contact with the Society and has to be able to channel information and requests for action quickly and efficiently to the rest of the committee. |
| Flying Treasurer | The sponsorship treasurer is responsible for the money we receive from our sponsors. This includes the payment of the balloon insurance and funding of any events we do for the sponsors. The position also involves keeping the flying accounts. |
| Transport Officer | The transport officer is responsible for cleaning and maintenance of the van and compound. |
| Communications Officer | The communcations officer is responsible for the upkeep of the website and organising social events. |
| Union Treasurer | The union treasurer is responsible for handling our expenses. There are four accounts which get audited by the Union every summer. This post is not open to students in their final year. |
| Others | Other posts are given to non-elected co-opted members of the committee. These vary from time to time, but have included Membership Secretary, Balloon Maintenance Officer, Assistant Secretary and Training Officer. |
If this has whet your appetite for becoming more involved (and getting even better value out of your £35!), or you feel you could do better than the current committee, get in contact!
