PsiStar's committee is voted in by the members at the end of every accademic year in the Annual General Meeting (AGM). It is required that there are 50% plus 1 members to non-members and contracts are signed by the President and Treasurer as these are the only committee members that are held legally responsible for their actions. The remainder of the committee are bound only by their word to do what is expected of them although if their roles are not performed satisfactorily then they may be fired during a committee meeting. A new committee member must be voted in by a general meeting of the society.
The committee is thus set as follows for the accademic year 2006/2007.
President
Name: Nicola Rolfe
Alias: Nic
Bonjour, I'm Nicola. I'm in my 3nd year of Astro and despite the huge amounts of stuff I have to do, I like to list my occupation as 'Bum'. When I'm not juggling finances you can find me behind the bar at Drapers, or I'll ride past/over you on my motorbike. And I can do all this whilst simultaneously bigging up the Maidstone Massive. Rock On.
