Hey folks, how you doing? My name is Chris Forde, I'm 20 years old from Bangor in Northern Ireland and I am currently a 2nd year Business Studies Student.

I was elected for the Male Equal Opportunities Officer in March after a successful campaign. The role of the Male Equal Opportunities Officer is to make sure that all males are represented equally and treated fairly in all aspects of university life. I will also be working alongside Sarah, our Female Equal Opportunities Officer to create a balance between males and females within the Students Association. We are also going to draw up an equal opportunities policy and make it available to everyone

I am not claiming to be a professional in this area of work but I will be using the resources that are available to develop knowledge of where to direct you - the people I represent, with questions or problems; allowing you access to professional advice. Please remember that any queries or problems will be treated with complete confidentiality.

As I am also a voting member of the executive committee, I will be committed to the union, and along with the rest of the exec, we will be doing our best to improve your students association by working as a single team with the same, optomistic, realistic goal in mind.

That is where you lot come in. If you have any comments or suggestions that you feel would improve the Students Association, then do not hesitate to approach myself or any other members of the exec, we will only be to happy to listen...

The Students Association is run for students by students so if you want to see your union continue to improve YOU HAVE THE POWER!!!!

Go on... you know you want too!

Any questions, comments, or otherwise - Msg. me...
[Be gentle now... :-)]
