A very warm welcome, dear
readers, to the ongoing introduction series of our incoming Executive
Committee. Today, I present to you one of the most hard-working, diligent and
assiduous toastmasters to have joined Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club. He
is none other than our Treasurer, Mr. Law Jia Hong!
Jia Hong is the youngest
member of Tampines Changkat Toastmasters Club. He is full of positive energy
and enthusiasm that he very actively uses in accomplishing his toastmaster
goals. Jia Hong is one of the most pro-active toastmasters around who frequents
different clubs in the toastmasters circuit in Singapore about three or four
times a week. He has been growing his speaking and leadership skills as well as
titles at one of the fastest rates known to our club. In addition, Jia Hong is
the recipient of the Most Improved Toastmaster Award (MITA) for the last
session (January – June 2016).
Fresh out of National Service
and about to join Singapore Management University, Jia Hong divides his free
time among his speeches in different clubs, several leadership activities, a
job in his university campus, his passion for art and now activities as the
treasurer of our club. In addition, Jia Hong often takes up the additional
responsibility of organizing ad-hoc chapter meetings, as and when they take
place, for the growth of our members.
Jia Hong is a man who likes
to come straight to the point. Presented below is a short interview with about
his reasons for joining the Executive Committee:
Why join the
Executive Committee?
Because I want to learn more about the functions
of the club as well as its intricacies and challenges. This way I shall be able
to serve our members in a more fulfilling and better fashion.
What do you
intend to gain from your role?
From my role as Treasurer of Tampines Changkat
Toastmasters Club, I intend to develop a more nuanced understanding of club
function and organization. In addition, I intend to develop a more practical
and detailed appreciation for finance and accounting that will help me in my
course of study in university.
How do you
plan to help the club through your role?
Management of financial resources is one of the
most challenging jobs that an Executive Committee member has.
This is a
very important role since not only does it involve handling money that members
have contributed, but it also necessitates proper accounting of all income and
expenditure since it puts the reputation of our club at stake. As a result, I
intend to use the club funds wisely and keep accounts updated and regular to
the last cent spent.
Any other
thought you want to convey?
Dollars and Sense is not pretty, but essential.
