Board Positions

The treasurer keeps track of the finances of the association. They are responsible for paying and creating invoices, keeping track of the budget and creating legal financial documents. 

The secretary writes and keeps track of meeting minutes. This is a crucial role to ensure board meetings are well documented and leaves room to take responsibility in other areas that interest them specifically. 

Events coordinators' tasks are to ensure regular and quality events. They lead the events committee and help them make their events ideas come to life. They plan, budget and promote events. They also contact other partners, such as other associations, to build collaborations on events. Events are the most visible and one of the most important part of our work <3.

They are responsible for organizing the monthly party SYMPOSIUM in collaboration with INTO Tampere. They also develop further the collaborations between ESN FINT and other associations.

The PR responsible deals with the different orders of ESN FINT (overalls, patches, ESNcards etc.).  They take care of the board merch. They also work towards expanding the network of local partners and sponsors of the association.

The social causes coordinator is responsible for maintaining and developing initiatives regarding some of the six major causes of ESN (culture, health and well-being, education and youth, skills and employability, environmental sustainability and social inclusion). A current initiative is for example the Starting Kits, our Recycling Room on campus, our Swap event and/or launching new projects!

The media responsible has the main responsibility over our communication. Their goal is to make our communications appealing, consistent and clear. They have the main responsibility over our communication channels (Instagram, Chats, Kide.app, Website etc.). They also design visuals such as posters or events visuals.

The HR responsible would coordinate the recruitment of officers and actives, as well as ensure the wellbeing of the whole team and organise team buildings. This is a new position we want to launch on the board, so there is a lot of freedom to figure it out but also the support of the whole board to do it together.

Here are some examples of positions available for officers, however anything is possible, and we can create a tailored position that fits your interest.
