Exec reports - President

Introduction

The President :

• Must have been on the VOC Exec of a previous year.
• Ensures the overall running of the Club.
• Knows the responsibilities of other Exec's, and tactfully makes sure that things get done.
• Coordinates Exec meetings and Wednesday lunch hour meetings.
• A good position to learn about delegating responsibility. Good public speaking skills will be developed.

How to run the VOC

Random stuff you'll need to know

There's a whole lot of mundane, everyday, things that somebody has to know in order to run the club. And, as president, you're the one people are going to ask. Many of these things are passwords/combinations, so they can't be written here - but you should tattoo them to your hand, or similar (maybe program them into your smartphone or something).

• The clubroom door code. You should probably change it when the new year starts as well.
• The "execs only drawer" lock combination.
• The combination for the lock box up at Brew, Phelix, and Harrison
• Our full AMS bank account number
• The admin password for the clubroom computer
• Our MEC organization number
• Our interchange email server password

How to modify our email lists

Interchange mail (@interchange.ubc.ca)

Note that the FMCBC also uses the UBC interchange server, so these instructions apply to them too (but it's a different account).

First you need to find the login screen. UBC moves it around sometimes, but it can generally be found by googling ubc interchange email manage account. It's not the 1st hit, but it's close to the top. Right now the webpage is here.

Our username is voc (gasp!), but the password isn't written here (obviously). From there you just need to poke around and figure it out. We have separate email lists for voc-exec, voc-memebers, and voc-alumni. The exec email list must be updated manually, but the voc-members and voc-alumni seem to update themselves via magic (likely the work of Chris Michalak).

VOC website mail (@ubc-voc.com)

The website, including these email addresses, is managed by Chris Michalak, and sometimes less complicated stuff gets done by Scott Webster.
