Responsibilities:

• Chairing the executive committee (5VPs)
• Setting the agenda for Council
• Acting as the spokesperson for the society
• Attending many lobbying meetings and liaising with lobby groups
• The primary representative to the University

Major issues:

• Negotiating relationship with UBC-O and the UBC Graduate Students’ Society. The GSS feels marginalized within the AMS, and UBC-O likes to assert its independence.
• How to handle and manage all the varying lobbying positions?
• Which of the hundreds of things the AMS does is a priority?
