I am very excited to be running for the position of VP Finance for the OUTreach organization. If elected I plan and commit myself to: - Clearly communicate financial information, plans, and options to the executive team to facilitate informed decision making
- Ensure a reliable system of internal controls are in place to adequately safeguard OUTreach assets and provide, with integrity, accurate reporting on financial results
- Monitor the best practices and trends in previous OUTreach finances and implement beneficial changes as needed
- Assist the executive team in creating a financial and mission value
- Work closely with the executive team as a partner in strategic planning, prioritization, and decision making
- Increase the transparency between OUTreach finances and OUTreach members through periodic reporting and updating
And above all else:
- Support and maintain that OUTreach is a safe space for all LGBT2S+ and allies
Kaitlyn Melo (She/Her), Running for VP Finance
My goal as VP Finance would be to work with the other executive members to continue fostering a safe, welcoming space on campus for all LGBTQ2S+ folks and to continue improving meetings and events based on feedback from general members. I believe that I have the experience and ability to fulfill and exceed the duties of the role, and hope I will have the opportunity to share my skills with the executive team and the general membership of OUTreach.
