February | 29th Board

March already! The busiest months start right now. But first, lets look back at February! It was an intense month with events, a GA, covid and finally the carnival break. We started with looking for a new board as well which gives me mixed feelings. Looking forward to work together with the new board but it feels weird that my year is already at the end. But lets not move too fast, we have a lot of nice things coming up!

We started of February with an event of the Education Committee which was really nice. We worked on writing skills during the workshop and all students really thought it was helpful. The day after we start dancing with the Activities Committee during the Silent Disco event. Also the Valentines Dinner with the Activities Committee and Pulse was a big success. Unfortunately, a part of the Board got Covid before this event, including me, so that was a shame. So instead of celebrating my birthday and party, I was in my bed. But lucky me, I recovered very fast and after a week, when all the restrictions were gone, we could party again together. And we did that at the Battle of Committees event! Despite the rain, it was a very nice event and everybody was so enthusiastic.

After these weeks, it was finally time for a break which I spend in France and London. Time to rest, have fun and chill and now starting again with fresh energy! Ready for the Gala, COP, Pubquiz and so much more! And of course the next steps in the Board Search! 

February was a really hectic month, with all the changes that have been happening within the association. The search for CB has officially begun, since we organised two board drinks, which were attended by quite a few people. The half year GA took place, which means that I had a meeting with the FSC to check the half year realization and fortunately everything was fine. We had quite a lot of events during February, which I could not all attend, because, just like the rest of the board, I had Covid-19 during two of the events. But the Silent disco was really fun, so getting Covid was worth it.

But the best thing in February was that we decided to go through with the annual Gala!!! I am really excited for this and since I took over this committee, I can promise you; it is going to be a magical night. 

For my basic tasks nothing really changed during February, so I hope to see you all on the 10th of March in Complex!!!

February was a month with some changes within Helix. Unfortunately, our Secretary decided to resign from her position. Therefore we decided that I will take the formal Secretary role for the remainder of our Board year. However, my main tasks will remain the Vice-President tasks since we decided to divide the Secretary tasks among the four of us. My part of this is making the minutes during the Board meetings and the GA’s and I have taken over the DM on Instagram. As Vice-President, I attended the Bachelor Open Day online together with Mara and I had contact with the university about the experience days that are coming up and Helix’ role on those days. I also had an evaluation of the Bachelor Graduation with the organisation from FHML and the Presidents from Pulse and Santé. Moreover, I had a meeting with Board members from other study associations in the Netherlands about the Biomedical Interfaculty Congress which will take place now in Spring 2024 in Utrecht. Furthermore, I have been busy with the Promo Committee and a clear guide where all the steps of promotion are described to get more clarity about this among the committee members as well as for other committees. There is still some improvement needed, but we are getting there. Also, the Family Day committee is working hard on the upcoming Family Day. Everything regarding the food and building is arranged. My other committee, The Wellbeing Committee, is also working on a Master Event that will hopefully take place at Dominicanen in April. About my new Secretary tasks, making minutes is something I still need to improve over time. Especially the GA minutes is something that needs improvement from my side. Talking about the GA, on February 10th the Half-year GA took place. This GA was unfortunately done online. The GA itself went well, however, there is still a motion that could not be voted in because of a wrong formulation therefore we need to revise that.

February was a busy month with changes. The CB search really began by having 2 board drinks. We also held the GA. The SEP completed and send out their reports for the coursed of period 3. SEP 1 also had a meeting with the coordinators of BBS1002 which was fruitful and I hope it will show improvements for next year. Additionally, two new SEPs started working on evaluating the electives. I got new applications for SEP 1 and added two new members. I also had my repeating meetings with Student Council, in which some problems were discussed with MT. I also started working on the podcast together with Anna and organized the second Battle of Committees. I worked out the brainstorm event further. Furthermore, I attended some events, which I really liked and hope our members did as well. I missed out on the valentines dinner and master drinks because of covid-19. I am excited for the upcoming events of March!
