Responsibilities:
- Chairing the executive committee (5VPs)
- Setting the agenda for Council
- Acting as the spokesperson for the society
- Attending many lobbying meetings and liaising with lobby groups
- The primary representative to the University
Major issues:
- Negotiating relationship with UBC-O and the UBC Graduate Students’ Society. The GSS feels marginalized within the AMS, and UBC-O likes to assert its independence.
- How to handle and manage all the varying lobbying positions?
- Which of the hundreds of things the AMS does is a priority?
