- President
The President/Chair is the most senior committee position within the Society. Their role involves the day-to-day running of the society, leading committee members to success in their roles, and being the spokesperson of the Green Party on campus.
Responsibilities:
| Leadership & Management | Be the figurehead of the society, along with the Vice-President. |
| Lead and hold regular committee meetings and the AGM. | |
| Be in constant communication with the Committee and delegate tasks according to their responsibilities. | |
| Respond to media requests for comments, articles, interviews, or other media formats. | |
| Represent the Green Party in cross-party debates. | |
| Manage the society complaints process, ensuring all complaints are dealt with promptly. | |
| Create and publish the weekly society newsletter. | |
| Green Party Coordination | Be the spokesperson for the University of Exeter Green Party Society at GPEW and Young Greens events. |
| Respond to contact from GPEW, Young Greens and Exeter Green Party representatives. | |
| Coordinate leafletting, canvassing, and other political or non-political events with GPEW, Young Greens and Exeter Green Party. | |
| Increase the profile of the society within the wider community. |
Expectations:
The President/Chair is expected to be the spokesperson of the Society. They are expected to give up a significant amount of their time each week to coordinate with their Committee, the Green Party, and other university societies to make sure events are well planned and run smoothly every week. They must attend every society event unless they have good reason not to. They must have a deep understanding of how the Green Party works, electoral law, the Exeter constituency, and be competent at public speaking. This is a very demanding role, and often will require 10+ hours a week, excluding event attendance.
Parameters of Success:
A successful President/Chair will have led a University of Exeter Green Party Society with ideally at least 40 members, including a good Freshers cohort to ensure the future success of the Society. They will have led a committee who will have run many events throughout the year, including a regular weekly event/social, and at least one marquee event, such as a Christmas Dinner or Ball.
