How we Conquered #nowomen Active members Leonie, Martje and Evie joined the board of the FSE in October. Now, going towards the end of their board year, they would like to share their experiences about being an FSE board member Text & Images: FSE board
In the last five years that the FSE has existed, the executive board has only had two women before. In the year 2016, two women joined, including, of course, one Intermate member. However, this year is even more special, as we have three women in our board, and all three of them are a member of Intermate. Now, some of you might not be as familiar with what the FSE is and does. The FSE is the umbrella organization of all the study associations at the TU/e, also Intermate is part of this assosiation. Together with the study associations, we work on the tasks that the study associations have in common. This includes the central book sale, BHV courses and career orientation. We also organize some activities for all the students of the TU/e, such as the BorrelXL and MomenTUm which are really fun! As this is not all that we do as a board, we would like to share our experiences and what keeps us busy during our board year.

Leonie Being secretary involves social activities, like writing marvelous constitution and yearbook stories. Additionally, just how Mick and Sander wrote and will write the minutes of Intermate’s GM, I write the minutes of the monthly FSEAB meetings. And this is where the magic happens, because these minutes are written with the perfection of all previous secretaries of the FSE combined. The first female secretary of the FSE wrote her ‘raw' minutes (jargon for the first version) using pen and paper, which is admirable! Luckily, I get the chance to do more besides minute-making, like being involved in career initiatives at the TU/e, participating in the umbrella meetings of the introduction week, and most of all enjoying the company
