Renee - Vice President

Hi you!

Have you been awed by COSDU? Has COSDU left you feeling loved and inspired one Friday night? Do you want to be more involved with what COSDU has to bring? If you’re reading this, it’s probably because COSDU has made an impact on you that has caused you to think about being more involved with the process, right? Or maybe you just have too much time on your hands and like to read people’s attempt at writing. HAHA. Well, nonetheless, you’re reading this – the testimonial of the current vice president of COSDU.

COSDU, first of all, is a club unlike any other on campus. We are a family away from home journeying towards Christ. So you want to make sure COSDU embodies that. Being VP is not about being almighty, bossy, and knowing exactly what you want to implement into COSDU. It’s actually for anyone who wants to contribute to COSDU no matter what experience you have, and is looking for a journey that allows Christ to lead YOU. You are His instrument!

It has been an amazing journey with COSDU as vice president. It turned out to be much more than I thought. Being vice president is definitely a learning process. You don’t have to be spectacular at anything in particular – but you must have a willing heart. As vice president, first and foremost, you should be supportive to the president and committee. So of course, you must want to be a genuinely caring person as well, and be willing to help out with anything. The thing with working in COSDU committee is that everyone will help each other out – so you are never alone to manage your position.

Being VP is a blessed role because you will witness God’s providence – in the inspired ideas, teamwork, miracles, success of events, etc. And it’s a flexible role, so it’s up to you how involved you want to be and you can even take up little projects of your own like what I did – intercessory prayer ministry. Great thing is you can give your ideas to anyone on the committee and work together. You also have a chance to work with a diverse committee, and get to know people that you probably won’t be able to get to know otherwise.

So don’t worry if you feel like VP is a big title, being in committee is a learning process and doesn’t require you to be some super leader. You just got to have an open and willing heart for COSDU, and let Him guide you. You will find that being in committee is much more rewarding that you’ll ever think and end up with friendships that will last a lifetime.

AGM is happening on 13 May 2011
