Board recruitment

The ESN board exists out of 5 people, below here are short job descriptions, if you want to learn more about the different board members of the current board, you can find some information under About ESN --> ESN-Rotterdam

President

"Being a president means having a supervisory role over the rest of the Board, supporting their activities when needed. Meaning that you have to know what every function entails. Next to that, you will be incorporated in several administrative committees within the Erasmus University aimed at internationalisation. You will represent the international students as a whole towards the University.

 Being the president also means, having to leave aside some of your study time, to focus on ESN related activities. It also means you need to be representative at all time, to be able to respond or present your organisation to students or external parties interested in collaborations. Your position is supported by the Vice-president who has the overview of ongoing activities and has a supporting role as well as a supervising role over the president and the boardmembers as a whole.

All in all, experience in previous committees is recommended, a flexible and emphatic personality is a must and motivation and dedication are essential."

 Vice-President/Secretary

The vice-president/secretary function should concern two kinds of job description. However, both functions complement each other very well.

As a VP/Secretary, your main task is to keep the overview of the whole organisation. This can be reflected in, the ongoing activities and its progress, planning meetings, and updating schedules. Besides keeping an overview, you are needed to build and maintain internal relationships with the University-bounded organisations and faculties. Furthermore, supporting the president with his/her activities must not be left out. In cases where the president is not able to represent the organisation, you would be the first candidate to fulfil this task.

Being a VP/Secretary has to be pro-active, structured and flexible, you have to be able to project the long-term plans, which actions have to be taken while maintaining a realisable schedule. Of course, the much dedication, passion and motivation towards the organisation are the most essential.

Treasurer
