Secretary

The position of Secretary is one of the most diverse positions of the board and therefore it is hard to summarise in one piece of text. You are the centre of the associations as you are in contact with the members, the university and the companies. Each week you will have different tasks and your agenda will therefore never look the same!

You have two main responsibilities, the first is the well-being of all members of FAECTOR and being the first point of contact for them. When thinking about the policy with the board, you often see things from the point of view of the members and make sure their well-being is always thought of when making decisions. The second is being the point of contact towards the university. Together with the president, you will manage all communication with the university and faculty. This can range from one-on-one requests to professors to meetings with the faculty management. You will also organise some fun events in cooperation with the ESE, like the Take-Off and Seminar Drinks.

Next to that, you will supervise the Excellence Programme Committee, which organises an extracurricular programme for highly motivated students who wish to learn more about the applications of econometrics. This organisation is done in cooperation with the ESE, and as supervisor, you have the opportunity to participate in this popular progamme yourself.

Besides, you will supervise the ICansultancy committee, which organises two prestigious consultancy events, the first being in Amsterdam with the six most prominent strategy consultants. Together with the committee, you will be in contact with the companies 

The Secretary is also responsible for everything that has to do with the FAECTOR Alumni Network. This includes taking place in the FAECTOR Alumni Network’s board with the four former secretaries and supervising the Alumni Committee. It is your task to promote our Alumni Network and make sure you keep attracting our alumni. Besides that, you are in contact with the alumni office of Erasmus School of Economics. 

Another task of the Secretary is to keep everyone up to date concerning FAECTOR’s activities through mailings. You take care of the monthly mailings and FAECTOR content in other mailings such as the monthly ESE newsletter. You also get to write the almanac articles to enclose in other association’s almanacs and make minutes of the weekly board meetings and the general assemblies of members.

This is only a small summary of what the Secretary of FAECTOR does, but a board year is so much more than just your own tasks! A board year is definitely a year where you truly develop yourself on many different aspects and you create everlasting memories with lots of different people!
