REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE RUNNING, YOU SHOULD COME TO VOTE YOUR NEXT COMITTEE SO WE CAN MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE BEST TEAM FOR THE JOB (additionally there will be free pizza xxxx) The following positions are up for election: Station Manager Treasurer Secretary Head of Training Head of Programming Head of Production Head of Publicity Head of Music Social Secretary Technical Manager IT Manager Station Manager In ultimate control of everything that happens at the station, and a great position to be in if you want to implement some change!

If you've got the drive or ideas to make IC RADIO incredible, we would love for you to run! Email me (zoe.chu16@imperial.ac.uk) if you have any further questions xxx Treasurer As Treasurer you gain a different and deeper understanding of the society, you see its foundations, get to know its health and what the possibilities are. I have personally learned a lot from the role as treasurer and been able to enjoy some varied opportunities offered by radio such as presenting gigs, using the radio studio, mixers, etc… As Treasurer expect to be an active member working together with the station manager to keep the society running. Your major responsibilities will be to manage claims during term time, improve upon the budgeting for the coming year and guarantee all licenses are paid for on time to keep the station up and running. Email Raul (raul.adriaensen17@imperial.ac.uk) to find out more about this role. Secretary The role of secretary involves organising committee meetings, taking and publishing minutes of said meetings, booking rooms etc and generally being the organisational hub of IC Radio. Should you be elected Secretary and achieve any one of these things, you will already be doing infinitely better than me. Email Fraser (fraser.may17@imperial.ac.uk) to find out more about this role. Head of Training The Head of Training role is fundamental to keeping IC Radio alive and sounding good. As head of training you will often be the first person people meet in IC Radio, and it is your job to organise training sessions and ensure that everyone who uses the studio understands how to operate the various pieces of equipment housed within it and keep them dry! Email me (zoe.chu16@imperial.ac.uk) if you have any further questions xxx Head of Programming Head of Programming is responsible for managing the IC Radio schedule. While this principally involves assigning slots to shows once their presenters are trained in the studio, this can also involve booking time for recording sessions and ensuring that popular slots are used regularly. Email Emem (ememobong.umoh16@imperial.ac.uk) to find out more about this role. Head of Production Responsible for maintaining the recording studio as well as coordinating recording sessions and workshops in collaboration with Live Music Soc and MusicTech horizons. Being in charge of a room and being able to do whatever you want with it is super fun and being in charge of a "business" can only be good on your CV but this doesn't need to be a big position, you can put in as much time as you want. This position does not require technical knowledge of the equipment (honestly) and involves making money. Email Lancelot (lancelot.blanchard18@imperial.ac.uk) to find out more about this role. Head of Publicity Get the word out! Raise awareness of IC Radio. That’s your job. There’s no point to radio if no one is listening to it. As head of Publicity you need to advertise IC Radio. Design posters for radio events, banners for shows, merch for society members and generally telling everyone you meet that there is a great student radio based here at Imperial. Whoever is elected to this role has the power to end the dreaded "Wow, we have a radio station?" response to IC Radio-related conversation once and for all. Email me (zoe.chu16@imperial.ac.uk) if you have any further questions xxx Social Secretary Who said sitting in a room talking to yourself for long periods of time was antisocial? As social secretary you'll have the opportunity to bring together a network of people who love listening to and creating great radio. Email Thanos for more information (t.athanasiou@imperial.ac.uk) Technical Manager IC Radio has a lot of tech (microphones, headphones, miscellaneous recording gear, you name it, we've got it lying unloved somewhere in West Basement), and the Technical Manager is responsible for making sure it all works and is up to date (this can vary from getting custom crocodile slipmats for the turntables to buying new microphones for the studio). Email Tejasva (tejasva.malhotra17@imperial.ac.uk) for more information on this role. IT Manager The IT Manager is responsible for making sure the PCs, servers, and any services that run on them (e.g. our website) that IC Radio relies on are working. This includes keeping them up to date, troubleshooting and fixing issues, as well as thinking of ways to improve them. Email Fraser (fraser.may17@imperial.ac.uk) to find out more about this role.
