UoM Chair to Step Down at AGM

With the club’s Committee elections a month away now I thought it would be worth letting people know my intentions so members can start to consider what they might be interested in standing for.

I've decided that I will not be re-standing as Co-Chair (UoM) at the AGM next month and therefore will stop being Chair a week after that.

It has been a really difficult decision but I feel that at this point in the year when we have been able to achieve a good level of members and I've been able to ensure that club's finances are in the best position they have been in to date, a new Chair would have all the resources needed to work with the rest of the Committee to have a really successful year.

I won't be standing for any position on the Committee at the AGM and therefore will act as Returning Officer for all the non-Liberation posts. If you would like more information on the elections take a look here: http://www.manchesterlabourstudents.org/elections

Although I’ve only been Chair for 8 months, I’ve been on the Executive Committee for 2 years and in that time I’ve been the club grow hugely not just in size but also in its culture and influence.

Manchester Labour Students is an excellent organisation that I know will go from strength to strength and I’m really excited to see it move to its next generation of leadership.
