Hey MM! Quick run down of who I am since I just made my introduction post and most of you probably haven't seen it yet. My name is Adam, I am from Chesapeake, and I'm a sophomore here at JMU going for a double major with three minors. I know, that may sound like a lot, but as of now, I hope to one day be able to work for NASA... So I have high standards to live up to. I'm currently still on my first vehicle, a 2003 Mustang that my dad and I have done work on.
Why am I running for an officer position in MM? Simply because I'd like for the club to allow other students the opportunities that I have already experienced in just my first year in the club. Being able to hangout with some other hooligans at car shows, a wrench night, this past weekend's experience at VIR, and future events like the annual car show and autocross have and will continue to be experiences that I hope to always remember from college. By helping to lead the club, I hope that we can allow for current and future members to also share these experiences.
Why treasurer in particular? To be honest, with my busy schedule from my majors and minors, I would be worried about holding a position such as President or Vice President, so I instantly narrowed it down to Treasurer or Secretary. I figured that since I have taken a few business courses here at JMU already, that I have at least somewhat of an understanding of how the finances should work. After carpooling down and back to VIR with the current treasurer, James, I have learned a lot more about what the treasurer does for the club.
What is one aspect of MM that I would like to improve? Involvement of freshman who probably don't have their car here. For me, as a freshman, I knew about MM, but was not comfortable with joining since I didn't have my Mustang here during the first semester. Looking back, I wish that I had just joined, grabbed rides with current students, and went to events with the club since I know that I still would've had fun! I would like for next year's officers to find ways to show these students without cars that they can still enjoy everything MM has to offer.
In the end, I'm really running for treasurer due to one main reason: to improve MM and the experiences that others can gain from MM!
