Candidate Statements: Nominated for the Position of Chair:

The TSSU has received one nomination for this position:

Kyla Hingwing
My name is Kyla Hingwing, I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Molecular Biology & Biochemistry. I am running for the Chair position on the executive of the TSSU. I have been a TSSU member since 2005. Since becoming the steward for my department in 2008, I have been active on various committees for the TSSU. I initially joined the Education and Internal Relations committees in 2008 and have since joined the Member Mobilization Committee once the Education and Communications committees were dissolved.
I believe I will be a good Chair for the TSSU. I intend to maintain a neutral position such that I can mediate discussions at both the general and executive meetings. It is important for me as Chair to ensure that I encourage the non-hierarchial and feminist system on which the TSSU was founded. I hope that in the role of Chair I will encourage discussion while maintaining a level of efficiency in both general and executive meetings.
In short, I am looking forward to contributing to the executive committee as I have contributed to both the stewards network as well as other committees of the TSSU.

In solidarity,
Kyla Hingwing
