A society for atheists, rationalists, secularists and humanists
Name: Nicola
Position: Secretary/Interfaith Co-ordinator
What has been the highlight of your year on committee?
The highlight of this year has definitely been Perspective and Darwin Day! Perspective has been a massive success and despite my worrying that the speakers wouldn't turn up, they all did. Interfaith assassins was lots of fun too. Watching Atheist Society grow from a few loyal members to one of the bigger societies on campus has filled me with quite a bit of pride, definitely another highlight!
What has been the hardest part of the job?
Dealing with the emails! It is quite a feat to not let them get on top of you.
What skills do you think you have learned/developed?
I have really developed in terms of confidence and the ability to approach a vairety of pople and get them to do what I want. My ability to target my audience has also greatly improved.
What are you responsible for?
As secretary, I deal a lot with the Union and especially the ARC. My main duties are focussed around membership and other admin type roles. I also take notes and minutes at the meetings. I basically control all the society paperwork. The interfaith part of my job means I am responsible for co-ordinating all the itnerfaith events we do, both in terms of organising speakers and ensuring we maintain a good relationship with other societies on campus.
What advice would you give to your successor?
Learn to use Facebook! Everything the society does is on Facebook.
