into. Most schools have a big title sponsor and these schools’ delegate fees are majorly subsidized. W e need to find this sponsor for SFU JDC W est. W e need to send our best people, and we need to do better at these prestigious competitions. Any exposer that SFU gets on a national scale like JDC W est benefits the whole faculty, and adds value to all our degrees. I would like to take CR in a new direction by introducing the idea of long-term sponsorship deals with our partners. By signing a contract for a three-year, title sponsor of FROSH or JDC W est, we will ensure their financial stability into years to come. This will help in turn over of responsibility of these events. My goal for this year is to obtain at least two recurring contracts with partners for JDC W est and Frosh. 5. In your own words describe the position you are applying for. Further, describe the purpose of portfolio that positions responsible for. The job of the VP external is to hire directors with the abilities to; 1. Establish new and maintain sponsor relationships. 2. Fundraise for SFU Business events. 3. Add value to the students to through different BASS branded events 4. Get people excited about BASS 5. Strongly encourage first year involvement Again, BASS did some good things this year. However, there is room for improvement. A major goal of team external this year should be to find that homerun sponsor for JDC W est. I believe JDC W est is so key because it has the ability to spark an interest in future involvement and passion for competing. JDC W est has been known to push first year students into wanting to take a more active role in the student society. It has also brought out the best of third and fourth year academic competitors, who then go on to win at international levels. Student exposure to events like JDC W est will get the younger students in the faculty more excited to be involved. Students will get excited about case competitions earlier in the university careers. More years of practice means better results, better results means more exposure, and more exposure means more value to all our BBA degrees.
6. List the directors and Coordinators contained in the portfolio of the position you are applying for. Team external ‘11/12 would consist of three directors. The director of Corporate Relations, the Director of External Events, and the JDC W est Captains. This year, I would encourage BASS to give the IBCC case competition to IBA. IBA has the capacity to run IBCC on their own, and it is not something I’d recommend BASS take on. The corporate relations director would be in charge of maintaining relationships and creating new ones with sponsors. Under them would be a team of people with the capital to continuously seek out and obtain new sponsors for the faculty. The director of external events would be in charge of events such as the BASS banquet, Snowball and the Golf Tournament. It would be their job to ensure that the right people are in place for success. If correctly done the director should be able to take a hands off approach on most events, however, if they feel things are not going in the right direction they can provide guidance to the different chairs. If the chair still seems to be inadequate, they will be removed. This year BASS cannot afford to have events not run effectively and efficiently. 7. What have you done to prepare yourself for the election and learn about the role you are interested in? If you have contacted anyone please state their names and positions below. Before submitting my application I talked to the outgoing VP External Johnny Dewan, and he walked me through the year. He talked me through all the events, and all the responsibilities VP External was expected to take on through out the year. He gave me an idea of the time commitment that is expected, but also how he feels that the roll has benefited him going forward. Johnny said the experiences that he had this year have benefited him more than any class ever has. This is what I want to take away from the roll. I want to learn for myself and I want to lead for the students to benefit the whole SFU Business community. I also had a long discussion with President candidate Brock Balfour. He has a lot more experience than me, and has been very active in BASS over the past year. W e talked out the year, and we share very similar opinions of many ideas going forward. I am very excited of the potential of working with Brock.
