Dear all, Apologies for the mass of emails regarding elections this year. This will be the last for a while. Please vote in your new IC Radio committee members by filling in this Google Form.<https://goo.gl/forms/gWuQ5C4pf0efnPZ92> You can find their manifestos at the bottom of this email. We still require a Head of Training for next year's committee, and we will be holding another set of elections in May to vote them in. Please let us know ASAP if you are considering running for the role. Manifestos Head of Programming - Anisha Srirangan I am a good candidate for Head of Programming as I am an organised person that will ensure the smooth running of the shows without any clashes and at ideal times for each programme. Through being a charity ambassador, I can balance time well. In this leadership role, I had to book rooms and host events to promote the annual fundraising sky dive. I have the skills and dedication required for this role and would be proud to serve IC Radio as Head of Programming. Treasurer - Raul Adriaensen I am a first-year student with an ample background and passion in music and financing. I have had various opportunities to participate with ICRadio with the show “the Schtick” and have enjoyed every minute. As such I would like to be able to contribute towards the society and bring what I believe could be of valuable support to ICRadio and help to make the society grow by: * keeping the accounting sheets clear and precise * guaranteeing all money is spent efficiently * the influx of new ideas to help raise the popularity of ICRadio during events such as freshers fair and systems to keep the audiences engaged and motivated to listen in * and hopefully, start my own show! Have a great Easter break! IC Radio

New Committee - Key Positions Still Vacant
by IC Radio Secretary 21 Mar '18

21 Mar '18

Dear ICRadio Members, Following our AGM, I'd like to welcome everyone who stood for a position into the committee - I look forward to seeing where you take the Radio next year! We didn't however manage to fill several key positions, including Head of Programming, Head of Training and Treasurer. While these may not sound particularly exciting, they are critical positions if ICRadio wants to keep working as a society. Most of you will know our current Head of Programming, Thomas, as the person who you emailed for a show slot, and without him this society would be a lot more dysfunctional (assuming it would even functional at all). Michael, the current Head of Training, is probably one of the few people who has seen all our new members and taught them how to put on a show. Without him, we wouldn't have nearly as many members given how difficult it is to use all the equipment / Member's Area if you're completely new to it. Finally, our Treasurer is vital since they are the person who makes sure we pay our licenses on time and are even able to broadcast! We also have the roles of Deputy Head of Music and Assistant Station Manager available, both of which would be useful to have. ICRadio has been around since 1975, and I will be damned if I'm the Station Manager who sees this society go down the drain because we couldn't fill these positions. Many of you are able to do your shows and use our equipment without any (or much) hassle thanks to the committee, so please take the time to consider giving back to this Society. If you would like to stand for one of these positions, please reply to this email ASAP. Once we have a complete field of candidates, we will circulate a quick survey to vote in the new committee members. Radio love, Seb

Introducing the Candidates: AGM Tomorrow at 18:30
by IC Radio Secretary 19 Mar '18

19 Mar '18

Dear all, If you can't make the AGM tomorrow, you can submit your vote until 18:00 tomorrow by following this link.<https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_38dqeKLE1WsLxsh> Of course, voting online takes away the fun of it, so please only use this as a last resort. If you are still unsure about whether or not you should run, there are still plenty of positions which are currently uncontested which we need to fill at the AGM. Introducing the candidates standing for positions... Head of Promotions Alvin Lee IC radio has a great variety of shows, from world tunes like ‘Quantum Musicology’ to talk shows like ‘What Does Em See?’. Unfortunately, IC Radio is relatively unknown on campus at the moment. If I am elected as Head of Promotions, this will change. As host of ‘The Schtick’, when I personally promote my show, many do not realise that IC Radio exists. I have a plan to promote the radio across the university and introduce these great shows to the rest of Imperial and beyond. >From the help of sponsors, cross-promotions, charity broadcasts, and competitions, I aim to dramatically increase our audience and ensure that everyone knows about the best student radio station. Station Manager Thanos Vlontzos I am Thanos , I've been a member of this committee for the past 3 years as head of music. During this time I have helped around the radio doing technical maintenance, organising meet the candidates ( last year and this year even though the union made it impossible for us to broadcast), recently revamped the sustain playlist with new music. By being manager I aim to continue the reforms that Seb started and bring a new era to the radio. We'll try to approach even more freshers and become a more sociable society. I also aim to create shows that hold the union accountable and help the head of training to raise the broadcasting quality of the station. Long live the Croc Social Secretary Brandon How Hi I’m Brandon How, host of The ‘How?’ Show 8-9pm Saturdays icradio.com. I am running for social secretary which I will rebrand to Events Manager for my LinkedIn Profile. Vote for me and I will give you a free beer (with radio money). In all seriousness I will try to organise bar nights, guest speakers and most importantly pub nights. We all get that occasional feeling of loneliness when in the broadcasting basement (or annoyance if you’re stuck with a regrettable co-host), so why not feel those same emotions in the company of similarly despondent icradio members, upstairs and slightly inebriated. Also, if you don’t vote for me can you at least click on my past broadcasts to boost the statistics and in turn my self-esteem. Cheers Mate! Tech Manager Tejasva Malhotra I would like to run for Radio Tech Manager and help out with the facilities the radio has to provide. I am aware of the equipment that the radio has, and would love to keep things organised.
