Why Are You Interested In This/These Position(s)?
I am interested in being Director of finance because I understand that dealing with money is a very important part of an organization. Handling money comes with a great deal of responsibility, and this is a very important role I'd like to fulfill.
I would love to be on the Executive Board of TUCSA because it's not just any organization. I have recently gotten involved and in a very short time it has opened my eyes to the different realities around us and how putting in some effort towards change makes a great difference. TUCSA is part of something bigger and I want to be part of TUCSA.

What Do You Have to Offer TUCSA?
Just recently I got involved with TUCSA. I understand putting someone new into a leading position is risky. You should consider me for the ballot and positions because I can bring a lot to the table. I am always thinking of ideas on how to improve situations. I take in and value opinions of others to come up with one great plan. I'm a responsible and organized person. I also adapt quickly to many different scenarios which I've noticed is important in this organization. I love to help others, and helping an organization that thrives upon this would be of great value to me.

Being apart of the Executive Board will give me the opportunity to get more people involved so that we can not only grow as an organization but truly make our mark on Temple University's Campus.

What Do You Have to Offer TUCSA?
I feel that my leadership skills and experience in planning will definitely be beneficial to TUCSA, especially when it comes to public relations. I'm the type of person who is not scared to go out to random people, get there attention, and motivate them to participate! I feel that my bubbly personality and expertise in Facebook and Twitter will be a great component when it comes to this position. I am a very organized and reliable person, and I think that is extremely important when taking leadership of a position. I am also very friendly and receptive to different ideas, so it would be easy to communicate with other members of the organization.

Why Are You Interested In This/These Position(s)?
I am interested in this position because I currently am an Advertising major and think that this would be a great way to put my skills into practice. I believe that I could perform these two positions' task very well. I hope to be able to be a part of the e-board next semester because it is a great way to meet new people, help my community, and give back to people who are less fortunate than us.

What Do You Have to Offer TUCSA?
I believe that I have the background to be the communications or public relations director due to the fact that I am advertising student. I think that TUSCA is a great student organization and if I could get the word out about this organization and get more people to like/want to volunteer, it would be a great experience and a great cause that would represent Temple University very well. I am very organized and just from my past volunteer experience, you can see that I am very involved in this organization and hope to become even more involved by being on the e-board.
