 Thinking of going for committee? Give this a once over to see which position would best suit you.

• To be the main contact for Sport Liverpool
• To arrange and chair regular committee meetings
• To lead the organisation for fresher’s fair and any promotional material
• To seek sponsorship with support from treasurer

Whilst carrying a lot of responsibility and making key club decisions can be difficult, the role of club president is very rewarding. Running one of the biggest clubs in the AU alongside your studies will offer bags of experience in people and time management. Interest is required in all areas of the club with club development being paramount throughout the year. Skills such as good negotiation, effective delegation and the ability to make important decisions sometimes under pressure are routinely required.

• To attend all committee meeting and support any club initiatives

Vice President requires the ability to watch over all areas of the club and play an active role in these areas. Work will often be carried out in everything from holiday organisation to racing. Whilst the treasurer takes much responsibility in booking the trip/coach and taking prior payments, as Vice President you are expected to promote chill-factor, organise beginner lessons and ensure the trips run smoothly.

 This role will get you to explore the entire spectrum of the club and gives a fantastic foundation and understanding of essentially, how a small business works. Snowriders have pioneered the use of banking technology to make this job easier for both yourself and members. Treasurer isn’t simply about through staring at spreadsheets all day, it will give you the opportunity to explore the world of snow sports and find new and exciting sponsorships and charities we can work with.

An individual is needed with high motivation and plenty of racing experience to ensure that the best skiers/boarders to hand are taken to events and represent the club. Decisions are not always easy as race captain and a strong head is needed to make sure the best decision for the club is made.

Holiday Secretary:
