The Trinity Mathematical Society will be hosting our Annual General Meeting on Monday, 2 May 2025, during which we will elect the next committee!
Event: TMS Annual General Meeting 2025
Date: Friday, 2 May
Time: 5pm
Location: Blue Boar Common Room, Trinity College (accessible via Green Street)
Agenda: Elections for TMS Committee 2025/26; pizza and refreshments
Here are the committee positions up for election, along with their official roles:
• President: The President shall coordinate the Committee and invite speakers.
• Vice-President: The Vice-President shall book the rooms and aid the President, stepping in as necessary.
• Secretary: The Secretary shall send weekly emails and publicise events.
• Treasurer: The Treasurer shall organise sponsorships, apply for College funding, and make sure we don’t go bankrupt!
• Membership Officer: The Membership Officer shall manage membership and organised socials.
• Constable: The Constable (usually an ex-officer) shall aid the Committee in its functions.
Eligibility: to run for a position, you must:
- Be a member of Trinity College.
- Email the current President, Eleanor (erm73@cam.ac.uk) by Wednesday, 30 May, announcing your intention of running.
- Prepare a brief speech to give at the AGM.
Responsibilities are shared across the whole committee, and everyone contributes to deciding what the TMS will be for the next year. The average weekly time commitment is manageable, especially when the committee looks out for one another!
Beyond the formal duties listed above, there’s actually a lot happening in the background (e.g. deciding how best to rickroll the TMS, or which apple variety to drop in the next talk). If you are interested in running for any of the roles and wish to take a peek at the fine print of the job description, or have any general worries/questions, I encourage you to reach out to any of the current committee members (see the footer of this email)! Don’t worry, we won’t bite.
And if you don’t wish to run for committee, still come along to support your friends, air your complaints about the current committee, eat some pizza, retract your complaints about the current committee, and exercise your democratic right to vote!
Also, the annual Atiyah lecture (jointly organised with The Archimedeans) will be given by Professor Nigel Hitchins, Wednesday, 7 May, 5pm-6.30pm, at the Babbage Lecture Theatre! Title and abstract to follow soon.
