Hi everybody! My name is Marc Tan and I am running for your A-Soc VP Finance. I am currently in 3A Civil and I’m from Ottawa.
If you didn’t know me, I was the poster model for the school’s leather jackets and you’ve probably seen my image on poster boards in the EngSoc office, or in South Campus Hall. Also, you’ve probably heard someone yelling “Marc Tan’s going to Bomber!” in the halls sometimes.
But on to the real stuff:
I can sum up my campaign here really briefly: I’m going to bring more of your $14.25 to you, as well as work with the other Executive on their initiatives to create a stronger Executive and EngSoc!
My jacket modeling would make me look great at the front of the room at the EngSoc meetings and in the Orifice (the Engsoc office), but it’s not what would make a good VP-F. Here are some things I have done that would qualify me for this job:
Taleng Director 3X
Music Director 2X
Frost Week Director
Past Frosh Week Huge and Big, and EDCOM this year
On top of all this, I have been involved with EngSoc since my 1B term and I know how events run and how to budget accordingly. However, budgeting, managing novelties, and donations are just the standard portions of the VP-F position, I want to bring more to this position!
My main campaign point is about supporting the other Executives in their initiatives since I control the money, I don’t control the events (but I can suggest things as an Exec member).
So here’s the campaign:
Work with other Exec to bring more of your EngSoc fees to you, especially for people who don’t attend the typical EngSoc events
Selling of Office Supplies from EngSoc
Since we are a non-profit organization, the prices should be cheaper than anywhere on campus giving you access to the school supplies you need right within Engineering, including calculators, graph paper, lab books, pencils, pens, erasers, etc.
Working with other Exec to secure more student space, both study space and lounge space with ideas and proper future budgeting!
Working with other Exec to help and build relations with student teams financially and beyond!
Being fiscally responsible with EngSoc events
Currently a lot of events have bloated budgets that don’t benefit the whole Society, just the very few who attend these events.
I hope my campaign has enlightened you about what I want to do with this position. I’m going beyond maintaining status quo, and I hope you will vote for me online March 13-16. Also, I hope to see you all at TalEng! It will be a grrrrreeeat time! And if you have ANY questions about my campaign or anything, don’t hesitate to ask, I’ll be glad to have a chat with you about the allocation of fees and I’m always open to new ideas!
