KCLSU LGBT Campaigns Group Election for President

————-

Hey, everyone. Apologies for the late notice *mumble exams etc.*. As many of you may have realised we have not yet had an election for President, which was the only contested position at the AGM we held back in April.

The election will be taking place TOMORROW on the kclsu website (www.kclsu.org) from 9am. King’s students simply need go to the website and vote using their King’s login details.

The two candidates standing are: ALANA JAMIL and TOMAS INCE – their manifestos can be found below:

TOMAS INCE -
‘I am vibrant and likable character who would thoroughly enjoy and look forward to becoming the LGBT president for my final year at Kings. My focus would be to bring the LBGT together on social occasions, both low key and larger events such as a freshers charity ball promoting awareness around discrimination on the grounds of sexuality. I recently attented the speed dating and throughly enjoyed myself. I can only hope to promote more events like this on a more frequent basis e.g QUIZZ NIGHT!! This will hopefully encourage more members and built rapport among existing members. So make a fabulous choice and i’ll be your voice.’

ALANA JAMIL -
‘I’m running for president of the LGBT society for the 2010/11 academic year. I have served as your events officer for the two past committees. It’s time to put the experience into practise. I helped starting up the committee again after it fell through, much has been accomplished and a lot has yet to be done. The LGBT needs more presence and promotion. It needs to be a safe space and a place where like minded can meet. I want to get as many as possible involved, regardless of their interests and age. I will work hard to tailor events according to demand, and make sure that there are more campaigns and workshops next year so that those interested can take part. A wide variety of social events are also necessary. And a bigger impact should be made at freshers fair. People should know that we exist from the moment they step foot on King’s College.’

Hey all, it’s come to the time of year to elect a new committee for the next year.

All of us on the committee this year have had a great time and now is your time to get invovled and help and make it even better.

The election is going to take place in two parts this year:
1) An AGM next Tuesday (30th March, 7.30-8.30pm, Strand Campus, room tbc.) where everyone can come along and share their thoughts on how the year has gone and what they would like to see. Plus a time for candidates to tell us what they would like to do if elected.
2) Online elections on kclsu.org over Easter.

If you would like to run for the committee then just drop us an email and try to come along to the AGM.
All King’s Students are welcome at the AGM and if you can’t make it, but you would like to raise something then feel free to drop us email.

The positions open are as follows:
President
Treasurer
