The Partnerships portfolio aims to connect industry professionals and students to provide insights into the modern workforce and allow them to form a diverse network. The Partnerships portfolio communicates with ECOMS sponsorship partners and ensures we maintain strong relationships, helping to coordinate firm attendance at the events we run.
The Marketing portfolio aims to raise awareness of ECOMS and promote the wide range of events we run. It targets both students and potential partner firms, as well as other key stakeholders, to ensure strong engagement and visibility.
The Events portfolio aims to provide a balance to the intensity of university life by creating enjoyable opportunities for students to connect with peers and make lasting memories. This includes organising and running all ECOMS events, from educational sessions to large-scale social functions such as our balls.
The Ordinary Commitee assists with a wide range of tasks across ECOMS, playing a key role in the planning, preparation, and delivery of events. Their support helps ensure smooth and efficient day-to-day operations.
The Education portfolio aims to complement the fantastic education provided to us within the UWA Business School. This is achieved through delivering education-focused events, including study nights, and our academic publication, The Bull and The Bear. The Education portfolio also collect feedback from students to bring up in meetings with the Student Guild's Education Council, and official meetings with the Dean of the Business School and other academic staff.
Fresher Representatives are elected first-year students who play an active role in supporting various portfolios within the committee. They assist with organising events, promoting student engagement, and representing the voice of new students in decision-making processes throughout the year.
