and IV) in managing bank accounts, assets,etc.
AND 2) what do you feel is unique about your candidacy? What is unique about what you could contribute, if you are elected as Co-Chair External?

Hey there!
Thank you so much for the question! I have quite a bit of experience in setting, maintaining and managing budgets but i'll focus on my last 6 months with Pride when I answer this as it's most relevant! With Pride, I completely redid the budget to better reflect the realities of our finances while still being able to show the incoming sponsorships, donations and revenue that Pride was producing. I also showcased the actual vs expected flow as it is important to see where our expectations have been different from the reality so we can better analyze those differences.
Along with the budget, I also did the deposits and had a few meetings with our TD bank friends to oversee our bank account and ensure we were where we wanted to be.
What is unique about me? Well I am a self identified bisexual (cis) female, however I feel very strongly on the inclusion of minority groups in our community and am constantly looking for ways to make Pride more accessible. I hope to take this passion and couple it with this position - find ways to create relationships with groups in town that will allow us to broaden our community approach.
