Elections
Presidential Forum
This morning marked the first public campaigning of the Elections period, with a Presidential forum in the SUB conversation pit. As per usual, the spectators were outnumbered by candidates, “media”, and current execs on their lunch breaks. (Interestingly, only this media outlet and one other had any notable presence at the forum, and questions were [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Tristan Markle
1) Why BoG? Why BOG? To stick it to the man. 2) What experiences do you bring?I am currently a SUS representative on the AMS student council, and am familiar with its archaic modes of conduct and pomposity, which is good preparation for the even more colonial Board of Governors. I will make noise on [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Darren Peets
1) Why BoG? I never considered other positions. Board matches my interests, the pay’s not an issue, the problems I want to fix are generally higher than the AMS (most are UBC-level) and not normally academic, and I don’t have the time to take on an AMS (or GSS) exec position. The question is “why [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Matthew Naylor
1) Why VPX? I chose to run for the position of VPX because it is the position where I feel I can make the greatest contribution to the society. As someone who has been involved with politics, both at a student and federal level, I feel that I have an adequate grasp of public policy, [...]

Candidate Questionnaire – Peter Rizov
1) Why VP Finance? I chose finance because it is a portfolio that blends both functional operational tasks with political involvement. It is one that will allow me to put into practice all the knowledge I (should) have acquired in my Commerce classes. Further, it is the one I am best qualified for. Most of [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Brittany Tyson
1) Why Finance? Working under the VP Finance for the past two years has really given me a strong grasp of the portfolio. As Vice-Chair of the Finance Commission, I’ve learned quite a lot about the financial systems of the AMS, how we interact with our clubs, constituencies, resource groups, and services, and how our [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Aidha Shaikh
www.aidhashaikh.com 1) Why BoG? Having been at the university for a while you realize how important the policies that are passed by the Board are to our everyday interactions at the University. Dealing with a broad spectrum of students, both undergraduate and graduate as both close friends and colleagues I hear about all the issues [...]
Candidate Questionnaire – Tom Masterson
1)Why VPX? Not why VPX, but rather why AMS? In my opinion, the AMS is an organization in need of reform; a revamped image, both to students and outsiders, new ideas, and a lot of energy. In my opinion, this type of change cannot be brought about by someone who is already jaded by politics, [...]
