The President’s day-to-day responsibilities change drastically depending on the individual needs of EUTCo’s membership and productions. 

Responsibilities include:

• Spearheading the creation of an interesting and diverse yearly theatre programme.
• Doing this with a clear vision, and deciding the programme through interviewing creatives.
• Leading the rest of the committee in regular committee meetings, as well as being on hand to provide regular support and guidance to that team.
• The President delegates responsibilities to their committee by considering their individual strengths, and drawing those out of them!
• The President must also be approachable to all EUTCo members; a friendly face of the society who is consistently present at workshops, fundraisers and socials.
• Liaising with the Guild is a major responsibility, as well as communicating with venues and other stakeholders.
• The President is in charge of receiving, understanding, and signing venue hire contracts. This must be done while working alongside the Treasurer to ensure venue costs fit with the society’s finances.
• The President also represents EUTCo in cross-society relations such as collaborating with other theatre societies in the weekly presidents’ meetings, auditions, clash etc..

Hopefully this is all the info you’ll need ahead of handover! But this year, we have an extended handover period so you’ll get the chance to be more hands-on with the role ahead of taking it. We’ve learned so much as presidents and look forward to leaving EUTCo in safe hands!
