To begin, I’d like to introduce myself: my name is
Jessie Li and I am currently a senior at Victoria Park C.I. Though I am not a competitive chess player,
nor do I play often, I believe I am suitable for the position as the CITL
treasurer for the upcoming 2013-2014 year.
Having taken on the leadership role as both Grade 11 Rep and Secretary
on the Student Leadership Council at my school, I am familiar with the responsibilities
and dedication that accompanies any leadership position. Being the treasurer of such an organization
is extremely important, and not to be taken lightly. The role requires initiative, accountability,
and lastly, commitment. Throughout the
past several years, the various extra-curriculars I have participated in as
well as my school work have taught me valuable skills that I can now use
towards other endeavors, such as CITL.
The treasurer is responsible not only for constructing a budget report,
but as well as outreaching to possible sponsors. Volunteer work, such as phone canvassing for
consecutive years, and my role on the SLC have enabled me to successfully
contact potential donors and understand how to develop positive relations.
Part of being a successful treasurer is keeping
updated and being diligent to all the details, however minor. With prior experience of successfully
executing Talent Show and Semi-Formal at
Victoria Park C.I., I am able to grasp the numerous different components and
factors in play to facilitate a successful event. Through becoming involved in “behind-the-scenes”
and personally witnessing the amount of input required to host even a
small-scale event—former knowledge and experience can go a long way into
avoiding unnecessary mistakes and making the plan follow through as
effortlessly as possible. Though
a platform cannot communicate who I am fully and my capabilities, I hope you
consider me as the CITL treasurer for the upcoming year.
