Vacancy of chairman of Privacy and Technology Committee

The Privacy and Technology Committee is looking for a chairperson!

What does the Privacy & Technology Committee do?

The committee talks about issues related to privacy and technology. For example, we deal with current affairs. We also learn more together on topics of digitalisation in society and biotechnology and talk about the DWARSe positions. We also sometimes organise activities. Before the meetings, we eat together at DWARS's expense. Travel expenses to the meeting can be claimed.

What does the chairman do?

The chairperson creates the agenda and leads the meetings. The chair also enthuses the committee members and is the point of contact for new members. The chairperson provides an overview of the committee's projects, such as organising an activity. The chairman does this, for example, by approaching speakers. Together with the secretary, the chairman ensures that the committee runs smoothly and has a good atmosphere. The chairman also keeps in touch with the responsible board member and the chairman goes to the Political Consultation which is a consultation between all substantive committees.

In the week of an activity or meeting, this function takes more time, but less in other weeks. You will also be working on it mostly in the evening, as that is when the meetings and activities are. You will spend about 2 hours a week on it.

Who are you?

As president, it is important to want to learn or be able to do the following:

• organising activities and meetings
• are interested in the topics related to privacy and technology
• communicate well

Even if you can't do this yet, that's not a problem. The important thing is that you are eager to learn and enthusiastic!
