Hello everyone, my name is Kevin McNamara and I am running to be the next VP-Finance of your Engineering Society! I am very interested in ensuring that your money is effectively and justly allocated, so that the Engineering Society funds work for everyone. My involvement within the society as a class representative and director has allowed me to learn a lot about how the finances are allocated. I believe that this, together with my approachable personality and commitment to hard work, accuracy and accountability would allow me to succeed in this position.
As VP-Finance, I will strive to ensure that you get the most out of your Engineering Society fee. I plan to encourage budget awareness within the society, so that everyone, not just class reps, are informed on how their money has been allocated. I want all students to be able to voice any comments or concerns they may have prior to passing the budget. I also plan to encourage directors to create budgets that are well thought out, and will work with them to find ways that events and services can be run more efficiently, while still upholding the high standard of everything the Engineering Society does.
I intend to better promote the Engineering Capital Improvements Fund, and encourage more proposals for funding. This would allow EngSoc to spend more money on purchases that will benefit not only the current student population, but also future undergrads.
I wish to continue to pump up novelties and coveralls to boost engineering pride through swag. One thing I hope to do is work with the novelties director to hold a number of design competitions that would help revamp current products, as well as create new ones. Additionally, I plan to create a novelties feedback system where everyone is able to submit design ideas continuously throughout the term, comment on store hours and availability of products, and just submit general feedback regarding the store. I also hope to continue to update the novelties online store, so that it is accurate and easily accessible.
If you have any questions about my platform or why I am running to be your next VP-Finance, please feel free to approach me in the hallways and ask! Don’t forget to vote McNamara for your Money!
