Following the resignation of the Finance and Strategy Officer on the OUSA student exec, there is a by-election happening to fill the position. OUSA accepted the nominations of two candidates last week: Daniel Leamy and Joel Tebbs.
Voting is open this week from Monday to Wednesday, July 31st – look out for the email in your inboxes! There will also be a by-election forum on Wednesday 31 July at 12pm in the Main Common Room (opposite Auahi Ora) to meet the candidates. For those that can’t make it, there’ll be a Facebook livestream through Radio One.
Daniel Leamy
Hi, I’m Daniel and I'm running for Finance and Strategy Officer. I’m studying finance and accounting as a double major so this role would be a great opportunity to put my knowledge to use. I want to be a voice for second year students at Otago and get our opinions heard. I will be an advocate for more student events and venues, especially student bars. Not only will I advocate, but I will work hard, and problem solve to get the best outcomes for students.
Joel Tebbs
Kia ora, I’m Joel, and I'm committed to improving the student experience as much as I can. The position of Finance and Strategy Officer is where I want to make this difference. As a Finance major, I possess the necessary skills for this role. I have experience as Treasurer for OUCC, OUIC, and OUTC. I will strive to increase student engagement in OUSA’s financial management and involve as many of you as possible every step of the way. I believe I can help lead OUSA towards a continually strong and more transparent future. Chur (formally), Joel.
