<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was two years ago when I first attended\na Gavel meeting. I didn\u2019t know much about what Gavel was except that it was a\npublic speaking club, and the very first day I realized that it was such a\nfriendly and supportive place with really nice people. I loved the experience\nso much that I ended up being a member and was lucky enough to be the Junior Treasurer\nfor the past term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to learn a lot of things throughout\nthese two years, many of which changed the way I think and see, and also the\nskills I gained, from working with sponsors to creating financial statements,\nwas a great opportunity for me to improve myself. At times, it was hard to\nbalance studies and my duties at the gavel club but my amazing team was always\nthere to help me.                     <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I always admire the professionalism of members towards their duties which helps to keep the club standards high; having regular Executive Committee meetings helped us function as a group and created an opportunity to express our ideas and plans for the future, and it made everyone a part of the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s hard to believe how quickly time\npasses and now it’s time to look forward to a new Executive Committee. To my\nsuccessor, here are a few things that you should know: as junior treasurer, you\nwill be expected to keep the financial statements of the club and to work with\nthe Senior Treasurer, you are answerable to the Senior Treasurer and the\nRegistrar on the use of funds. Also, don’t hesitate to ask help from other members\nand don’t hesitate to help your members whenever you can. I’m confident that\nyou will be able to t\ufeff\u7280\u5229\u58eb<\/a>\n<\/span>ake the club forward and to help members improve their\npublic speaking & leadership skills and most importantly to keep it the\nplace that we always loved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
