2004 Webmaster Election

About me

I am a 6th year medic, currently working towards a PhD in developmental biology. This is flexible in terms of time commitment. I have rowed for First and Third for 4 years, including 3 may colours. I have previous committee experience, having held the post of Women's Lower Boats captain in 2001-2. I believe the role of webmaster will require commitment and attention to detail, which are qualities I have developed and demonstrated through my previous role as WLBC. I have little experience of the technical side of maintaining the website, but I am keen to develop these skills and have been offered guidance in doing so by previous holders of this post.

The task

I believe that there are two major functions of the boat club website; to serve current and past club members and to act as a public face for the club. Its role within the club is primarily concerned with the fast and accurate dissemination of information to the members. In order to achieve this, the webmaster's role is vital in drawing together, organising and publishing the relevant information. This requires a high level of organisation and diligence.

My intentions as webmaster

My aim for the year is to retain the website's position as the leading boat club website in Cambridge (and probably the world). The majority of my work will be in updating and maintaining the site, but I am looking forward to working closely with the author of the website to simplify and improve the mechanisms for adding new members and information. I am very keen to hear suggestions from club members for new features to add to the existing site. I aim to promote the website within the club as a more widely used tool and to work with the lower boats captains in increasing website use among new members. I am enthusiastic about serving on the boat club committee once again and bringing previous committee experience to the role.
