The Third Suus Board
(International Suus Station, 2023-2024)
Antonios – Chairperson
The chairperson is for all intents and purposes the absolute sovereign of this association. As your god emperor, I vow that there will be no frolicking under my watch and that all my underlings will suffer. My aspirations include tactically pitting the different factions of Suus against each other so I can hold onto power while making nonsense promises to guarantee reelection. It is finally time to bring some discipline and order to this anarchic association.
But in all seriousness, the chairperson serves primarily as the head of the association. The chair has many responsibilities deriving from that role, including ensuring the GAs take place, facilitating board meetings and representing the association. I pledge that I will fulfil these tasks to the best of my ability, promote our vision of Suus, and try to run this ship as smoothly and as agreeably to everyone, as possible.
Tijs – Vice-chairperson
The vice-chair is there to do everything the chair isn’t doing. Antonios might be occupied with keeping his underlings in check, so in that case I could be busy. Luckily doing things for Suus is actually a lot of fun! I’ll take care of membership matters, to make sure big brother is still watching you. Plus, as the only Dutch person, I will be responsible for reading all Dutch-language nice dusty bureaucratic documents. And last but definitely not least, I’m taking extra care of matters concerning inclusion this year.
Jamie – Secretary
Yo, yo, Jamie here / I make notes and keep things clear. / My initials are JMC / but you can call me Suus secretary. / Among other things, I manage the website / so hit me up if something don’t look right!
Jeske – Treasurer
The treasurer handles the finances so that’s what I’m gonna be doing (cha-ching). I follow in the footsteps of the great Marien, whose beautiful spreadsheet has guided my own (I made a copy, ok?). I vow to keep the books balanced and records detailed and transparent, and dole out reimbursements in a timely manner. I’ll also be sending out silly little announcements in the WhatsApp chat so look out for those! <3, Jeske
Rafail – Communications Officer
All right let’s finish this, you’re probably already bored (get it? Board? As in the Suus board?). The communications officer handles, well, communications. You can be sure that at some point you will receive an email from yours truly, or an announcement or an actual physical letter or a cosmic portal will tear beneath your feet. I am also the wrangler of the elusive and ferocious newsletter. That means I make sure to go out in the wild once a month and harvest the nicest of newsletter bois, only for your consumption. I pledge that nothing shall remain unannounced even if it means personally casting a Summon Portal spell.
The Second Suus Board
(The Usual Suuspects, 2022-2023)
You can reach the current board at suus@uu.nl with any questions or suggestions.
Elise – Chairperson
The chairperson has several tasks on the board. In no particular order: being the face of the association, facilitating the GA, being the head of the association, facilitating internal meetings, and taking the shape of a chair. I am equally passionate about each of these tasks, and will perform all of them to the best of my ability. So far the biggest difficulty has been figuring out which chairshape suits me best, but I am hopeful this will be resolved in due time.
Ori – Secretary
The secretary of the board is chiefly in charge of communications, as well as taking up administrative tasks. These administrative tasks amount to taking notes at board meetings and handling member’s registration. Making sure the documents produced at Suus remain available for future generations is also important. Thus, I will take care of having an organised archive, and all correspondence in order for anyone that needs access to it.
As for communications, the secretary always writes the newsletter, and can take care of other forms of correspondence. My goal is to make the letters appealing and encouraging for all of our members to join activities and committees. I really enjoy writing, and striking a balance between very creative and structured letters.
Marien – Treasurer
The treasurer keeps an overview of all expenses, and resides over the budget. I will make sure that enough money goes in and that enough money goes out, while keeping a full administration for transparency. Although the whole concept of money is very inconvenient, I will try to make the best out of it this year, so that Suus can organise many awesome events. I will also try to use my computer science knowledge to set up a simple website for Suus. My nickname is Marienkolder, which is very funny in Dutch I promise!
Mar – Vice-chairperson
The vice-chairperson of a board is by definition the spare chairperson. Since that is not a fulltime job, the vice-chair is the person who will do all jobs not necessarily belonging to one of the other board members. More specifically, my function is to make sure committee registration goes smoothly, and that all committees are filled with a nice, healthy mix of students. Think of me as the thrashcan of the board, when you turn it upside down, a trashcan can also be a chair. im also very cool and moker hot
