Join the Societies Team for some short refresher sessions for student leaders, covering the basics of running an LSESU Society.
Missed the Student Leaders Conference? Don't feel too confident about how to plan an event? Unsure about your society's finances? Then come along to one of our Refresher Sessions, and have your questions answered!
We have a variety of different online sessions taking place throughout August and September. Each of these will be run by Abbie or Madeleine, the Societies Coordinators, and will focus on either:
- Back to Basics: An Introduction to Running an LSESU Society
- This session will provide a broad introduction to all key aspects of running a Society. We'll chat about the SU, memberships, elections, support available, advice on marketing and promotion, and lots more! An ideal session for anyone new to being in a committee position, or is maybe a bit unsure of where to begin.
- Planning Successful Events
- Planning successful events and activities will be key to creating memories and a sense of community among your members. Getting our top tips during this session will help you to manage your events calmly, confidently and safely.
- Finance and Funding
- In this session, we'll cover the basics of how you can manage your society's SU account, including how to make payments and arrange reimbursements. We'll also discuss opportunities for additional funding, and give our top tips on budgeting. There will also be plenty of time for questions!
