The Executive Committee:

The executive committee's main responsibilities (to be confirmed) are to:

• Support and coordinate the activities of members.
• Provide all members of the society with support and advice to organise projects, plan expeditions and fundraise.
• Manage the finances of the society.
• Liase with, and fulfill all the requirements of, the societies' federation.
• Maintain and develop a positive image of the society across campus.
• Ensure that the society provides a entertaining program of socials throughout the year.
• Ensure equal opportunities are offered to all.

However, non-exec members will be encouraged to take part in all activities of the society, including organising events during term times and expeditions. Indeed the success of our past expeditions owes a lot to the enthusiasm and commitment of those taking part.

Vice President and Equal Opportunities: Supports the president, taking responsibility in their absence. Whilst ensuring that the society complies with the equal opportunities policies set out by the Students Union and the society's key goals.

Publicity and Fundraising: Responsible for developing a positive image of the society among all members of the Students' Union, negotiating sponsorship for the society and coordinating the fundraising activities of those members that wish to participate.

However, the success of the exec will be highly dependent on their ability to work as a team to achieve common objectives.
