The UCC committee2 comprises a President, a Vice-President, a Treasurer, a Secretary, three Ordinary Committee Members (''OCMs'') and a First Year Representative (''Fresher Rep''). The committee is responsible for the general running of the club.
The President is the figurehead of the club -- the contact point between UCC and the Student Guild3. He or she is also supposed to ensure everyone else is doing what they are supposed to.
The Vice-President fills in for the President whenever necessary and assists the President in his or her duties.
The Secretary takes the minutes at meetings, emails minutes out to the UCC list, and handles correspondence.
The Treasurer looks after the club's bank accounts and payment of bills.
The OCMs are there to assist the executive (the four positions above) in whatever way and to provide conflicting and reinforcing positions to committee meetings so that committee makes better decisions.
The Fresher Rep represents members which have joined for the first time, including first year UWA students. It's important that are new members are able to get their say in too!
It is very important that people turn up to the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to elect the committee. Freshers can run for any position!
To make sure you are notified when the AGM is scheduled, please join the ucc-announce mailing list (described here).
Ordinary members (including freshers) may also attend normal committee meetings without prior arrangement. (Subscribe to the committee mailing list for venue, time and agenda information.)
