Responsibility

You are responsible...

Slide Title

As a committee member you hold a position of responsibility.

This means that if there is a disciplinary within your club, responsibility could fall on you, even if you weren't involved.

Consequences could be that you are stripped of your role and restricted from being on any committee in the future.

You could also have to face Students' Union and University Disciplinary procedures.

Represent

Represent your members...

The committee exists to represent club members

What would you do in the following situations...

• The club committee is discussing the option of buying a large piece of equipment from the clubs account and can't come to an agreement

Slide Title
