Committee Election Manifestos

MANIFESTOS FOR CANDIDATES RUNNING IN THE HARRY POTTER SOCIETY COMMITTEE ELECTIONS
Members have one vote for each position. The option to vote for the reopening of nominations is also provided.

President: Kate Friday 

Hi there, I'm Katie and I would like to be the next President for Harry Potter society to bring a new breath of fresh air into the society, after seeing and being involved in all of the wonderful work this year. I hope to replicate some of the events run this year, in particular the Horcrux Hunt and the Halloween feast, as well as the quizzes, but also try out some new ideas, along with my fellow nominated committee members. I am passionate about Harry Potter and about the Order of the Ruskin and having been a vice committee member this year, I know I can hit the ground running. My biggest goal, and something I would love to see, is it live on to be Society of the Year for the second year running. Thank you.

Administrator: Charley Lawson

As a parcel-mouth I have the exceptional ability to communicate with parcels, packages and letters, which is fairly important for an administrator. It’s been a magical year being a vice, and I really don’t want to Quidditch it now! It would be Ron not to vote for me.

But in all Sirius-ness, I have had experience of what it is like to hold this position within the society, and it would be awesome if I could carry on with this next year as well.

Treasurer: Richelle Concepcion

For the last few months, I have been channelling my inner Hermione, keenly shadowing and learning about the different roles within the society as a vice. They say that only goblins know the secrets of the twisting underground passages and enchantments of Gringotts, a knowledge passed on from one goblin to another. Becoming a vice has helped gain insight into the twisting passages of our own society, what works and what doesn’t.
With that knowledge, I would like to continue on this magical experience as your treasurer. I would like to pull more focus on fundraising next year to be able to host grand feasts and events (well what can you do? SPEW are encouraging house-elves to demand higher pay for their labour, it’s only fair). Also, there are many ideas that we, as a committee, have come up with and for one reason or another we were not able to carry out. It would be bloody brilliant to be given a chance to carry on and develop these ideas, for you to be able to see that there is method behind the madness after all.

Social Events Coordinators: Charley Lawson and Richelle Concepcion (Joint)

Although we are running for our own individual roles within the society, we would also like to metamorphose into Social Events Coordinators as well. We have thoroughly enjoyed organizing apparation locations and muggle repelling charms for events such as the Horcrux Hunt and the NEWTs pub quiz, so much so that we would like the opportunity to organise more of these magical
events next year. It can be done alone, but much like destroying horcruxes it is better executed as a team and so for this reason, and because we don't want to be worked harder than an overworked house elf, we would like to take on the role together.
