Tonight’s AGM decides the future of SUITS

It’s that time of the year folks! Sydney University IT Society held its fourth Annual General Meeting tonight to elect the executive team for the period from the rest of the year to roughly the same time next year. This is the night that decides the future of SUITS.

So it means I’ll be retiring from my current position as Industry Liaison, and I won’t be running for another position this year. Why? I would like to see more participation from the fresh recruits, and one way is to give a sense of ownership. I’ve been an executive of the Computer Science Undergraduate Society (CSUS), which in 2007 unified and merged with two other societies, and have been an executive since.

Anyway, I’m going to reveal the newly elected executives before it even gets out onto their website!

• President: Stephen Merity
• Vice President: Aaron Cowie
• Treasurer: Adam Petrovic
• Secretary: Karmen Chong
• Events coordinator: James Alexander
• Public relations: Simon Mattes
• Industry Liaison: Adam Gawronski
• Undergraduate representative: Luke Anderson
• Postgraduate Rep:
• IT Officer: Greg Darke

Yes, the IT society actually needs IT infrastructure support. That’s why there’s a dedicated position just to take care of servers and all things technical.
