Why seek Exco support

The Exco is overall in charge of the Society’s day-to-day activities, in accordance to the Humanist Society Constitution.

If people wish to organise an event under Humanist Society’s good name, tapping on its monetary resources and digital reach, then the Exco needs to approve the event.

For fairness and transparency, the Exco should be contacted as a whole, so that all Exco can provide input. All ideas should be given a fair hearing, and not shot down due to individual bias.

Individuals should avoid:

  • Messaging one Exco alone, and making all the decisions just between two people. This causes confusion when unilateral decisions are taken.
  • Message the “highest authority”, eg the President, just to get things approved faster.
  • Give up hope just because one Exco rejected the idea in a private chat. The idea needs to be reviewed fairly by an entire group.

Exco collectively runs the Society, and each Exco has a responsibility to hear and vote on event proposals.
