As president, I will attempt to:
Improve publicity of the club and sport within the university:
- Update the “publicity secretary” role in the constitution:
- Introduce a second publicity secretary to split the roles into gameday/results posts (photoshop) and making TikTok’s/reels (video editing)
- Modify the role to update the wording to current social media platforms (Facebook/Twitter -> Instagram/TikTok)
- Use advertising during the recruitment phases.
- Create good relationships with the university and imperial athletes:
- Send matchday results and pictures to get posted on IA Instagram.
- Apply for the beginner-friendly badge.
- Consideration to add a “sustainability secretary” role with the aim to become the first sports society to be awarded the “sustainability badge”.
Bridge the committee roles:
- President and secretary to act as more of a bridge between publicity, social and sponsorship secretaries.
Continue improving the social side of the club:
- Work with the social sec to further improve on this year’s Super Bowl success.
- Continue to rebuild relations with cheer.
- Consideration to add a second social secretary if required.
