Introduction

The Public Relations Officer:

  • Books rooms on Campus as required for Club activities.
  • Organizes Wednesday evening slide shows.
  • Arranges publicity for any VOC events open to the public.
  • A good position for someone who can handle the booking system on campus, and who is reliable.
  • Organizes the Jared Stanley Memorial Lecture in the fall term.

How to book rooms

First, you must be registered as the AMS booking representative for your club. This only needs to be done once with the AMS, the form for 2010 can be found Here.

Once you are the booking representative, you can book rooms whenever you want. AMS policy requires at least 48 hours to confirm a booking, and can be fairly unflexible about this time requirement. I'd suggest sending in bookings a week in advance. This is the page that you can refer to when booking any rooms on campus. Send an email to the AMS booking rep with all the information required, and you should get confirmation shortly thereafter

Note: IKB rooms are excellent for groups <100, Woodward for groups >100

How to book the Norm

Confirm with both the FilmSoc and the AMS booking department that you can rent the Norm. FilmSoc needs to be on hand to work the projectors, AMS controls who actually books the room.

How to Organize Slideshows

Follow the message board for people that have done interesting trips over the summer, or during breaks. Contact them and ask them if they'd like to give a slideshow. Advertise about a week in advance on the forums, and 'bump' the thread the day of the slideshow if no one else has commented on it recently.

How to Organize the Jared Stanley Memorial Lecture

In 2009, Trips Coordinator Line Veenstra organized the Jared Stanley Memorial Lecture. No information on organizing this event can be found in past exec reports for Public Relations. Ask past execs and members. To my knowledge, this is largely organized by friends of Jared Stanley and should not require too much work.
