The annual general meeting for our society is here, and once again, we wouldn’t have had such a successful year if it weren’t for all your support! Therefore, this AGM is the perfect opportunity for you to join in and show your commitment to Fairtrade and our society. Two positions are still available – check them out in the post below!
Being part of the Fairtrade Committee is a valuable experience. You will not only get to meet lots of friendly and enthusiastic people from different departments, but also develop a wide range of skills through event-organising and teamwork. These hands-on experiences are things you will never learn from a lecture!
