Treasurer
What are your duties?
"The office of Treasurer seems like a very economic position at first
glance, but there is so much more to it. In addition to managing
Agora at both state and national conventions, the Treasurer needs to
plan spirit packages for the NJCL convention and the spirit themes
for the OJCL convention. This is also a position where you need to
hold on to many materials, including General Assembly signs, the
cash box, and leftover spirit materials." - Maggie Ridgeway
What campaign tips would you offer?
"The most important thing to keep in mind when running for OJCL
Treasurer is that you should be creative! Even if you don’t have a
whole lot of experience, having good ideas for spirit and Agora
merchandise on all levels will help you greatly. It would help if you
also had your platform and campaign planned so everybody knows
why they should vote for you."
Getting people to walk around with campaign posters can help
spread your name among all of the delegates!
Parliamentarian
What are your duties?
"One of first duties the Parli fulfills is the appointments of the rest of
the board and making sure that runs smoothly. The Parli then serves
as a voting delegate at national convention and runs national voting
caucus. Running elections is the final "event" the Parli is in charge of.
Throughout the year, the Parli proposes amendments to the
constitution and does whatever they can to make elections easier and
better for the rest of the delegate, like making this guide for
example." - Krish Gupta
What campaign tips would you offer?
"Experience is incredibly important for the office of Parliamentarian
because of the nature of the duties you have to fulfill, such as
running all of the election events and running a Voting Caucus at
national convention. Additionally, because you will be running a lot
of events, public speaking and presence is important for the Parli so
make sure you can articulate your ideas properly and your speeches
are rehearsed and buttery smooth! For ideas, if you find necessary
amendments then certainly mention those, but it isn't necessary to
come with an amendment. It is more important that you talk about
how you will fulfill the other duties of the Parli like running the
appointment process, elections, and voting caucus. You should
disperse your ideas how you see fit. A pamphlet with all my ideas was
great for me but some people prefer walking around with candy and
talking to delegates. I'd say that you should do whatever makes you
more confident!
