Jochem van Dam: Column

May 2014, the Lugograaf asked me to write a few words to introduce myself to the Lugus members as the treasurer of the 13th board of TBV Lugus. At that moment I couldn’t imagine what a humongous impact the following 365 days would have on my life.

Working with a fantastic group, learning about organising, tackling all kind of problems and socializing with Lugus members, other boards and recruiters. This is how a general day of a Lugus board member looks like. Socializing is of course a very nice part of it, not only with Lugus members, but also with all the other boards within Groningen. As many of you know, Lugus is well known at the constitution socials due to our Pisang and ‘bras’ skills. Especially Bas, as at least five boards per social ask him if he wants to start ‘brassen’. Of course, always with success.

It is also nice to see that the association is growing each year. Our results presented at the E-ALV showed that this year the numbers of active members and members coming to activities have grown with high percentages. People recognize the opportunities Lugus has to offer.

I find myself always talking with commendation about Lugus. This is because I am very proud of it, proud of its members. The culture of Lugus is a culture that other associations can only dream about.  That is why I look back, as ex-treasurer of TBV Lugus, with a big smile. A function with a lot of defined tasks, but also space for new projects. I know for sure that it will be strange for me to hand over the responsibility for the finances to the next treasurer. Therefore I am happy to get a place in the auditing committee, so that my autistic trait of controlling the finances will still be fulfilled.

Everything I learned and did this year was very nice, but one thing stands out, namely working with four fantastic guys!  I have a lot of respect for them, because together we brought this year to a success. For that, I want to thank them!
