Committee Structure
The Committee is split into two groups: Executive and Representative Officers. The Executive Committee are the President, Treasurer & Secretary, Representation & Welfare Officer and the Events Officer. Three of these positions serve as signatories on the society's bank account, and for this purpose formal responsibility for Tease falls to the Executive. All other positions are Representative, which whilst important positions take up less time that the four primary roles.
Elections
The LGBT Society Committee is elected at the society's Annual General Meeting (AGM), usually held towards the end of February or beginning of March each year. When elected, the new committee does not take office until the summer to allow for a handover period.
All Executive positions must be elected at a formal AGM or EGM of the society. Non-Executive positions may be elected any any meeting of the society, provided at least ten members are present alongside two Executives.

This is my third year on the committee now, having previously been the Secretary and Webmaster in my Second Year and Treasurer during my Third Year. I am extremely passionate about student representation and support, especially that of LGBT students, during my time on the committee I have gained a wealth of experience and knowledge in issues affecting students and effectively representing and supporting students. I am dedicated to ensuring that LGBT students' diverse welfare needs are meet and they are fully represented within the student body, if anyone has any issues, needs any support or help you can guarantee I will be able to help. Having been involved in the leadership of the society for sometime now, I also understand the importance on ensuring we take care of the society’s multiple social needs and that this is a crucial element in creating a vibrant active society in which our members can enjoy and embrace the great things about been LGBT. If anyone has any ideas about events we can run or wish to get involved or even run an event themselves please get in touch with me. I’m also the main person who organises Tease, so if you have any ideas, comments or questions regarding Tease I’m the one to come to.

I'm happy to advocate for you in a sensitive, confidential manner with administrators, health services, counsellors, lecturers, parents, or other students. I will not disclose your history or status without your consent. I respect your right to identify as a man or a woman, with or without referencing your trans experience, or as trans, bigender, agender, genderqueer, or any other identities.
