PMSA elections

The PMSA (the Postgraduate and Mature Students' Association), which have been inactive for the last year, are holding elections tomorrow (December 2nd) to get a new committee and hopefully create a more active community of postgraduate and mature students!

The election takes place at 1pm (and should last no longer than an hour) and will be held in the Postgraduate Space, which is underneath Spar in the Guild.

There are four positions available, which are listed below:
Chair: The Chair is responsible for the overall running and direction of the association
Vice Chair: Supports the chair in the day to day running of the society
Secretary: The secretary communicates with members and publicises events and the society as a whole
Treasurer: The treasurer is responsible for managing the Association’s bank accounts and the financial well-being of the society.

Once these have been elected it will be up to them and the association to create new positions. Candidates will be asked to talk briefly on why they want to stand and why they would be good at it.

In the past the PMSA has been a social network - organising weekly drinks in staff house, trips out and any other activities that are wanted!
