RAG Exec 2009-10
What is the Exec?
The RAG Exec is the team of people responsible for turning the well-laid plans of the Charities Committee (meets Monday at 5pm in OUSU) into reality. Each member has their own portfolio which they're responsible for, but they're also expected to pitch in as much as they can with all the events that they can.
They're usually people who've been involved with RAG as common room reps or charities committee members, but the Exec can also include freshers and people entirely new to RAG. The only qualification is enthusiasm!
OUSU Vice-President (Charities & Community)
Daniel Lowe - rag@ousu.org - ext. 88465
The RAG Sabbatical Co-ordinator is the OUSU Vice-President (Charities & Community), or VP(C&C). As well as co-ordinating RAG and acting as its treasurer, the VP's full time role also includes promoting and organising volunteering in the community, overseeing the OUSU Environment and Ethics Committee, representing students in the community and organising the Beyond Profit Careers Fair. RAG needs a committed group of enthusiastic volunteers to organise successful events. If you would like to get involved or have any questions them please email me: rag@ousu.org
The OUSU Charities & Community outreach Part-time Executive officer
Genevieve Laurierl - Hertford - communityandcharity@ousu.org
The Part-time OUSU Exec member shares their portfolio with the VP(C&C), working closely with him within and without OUSU on their projects.
President
Charlotte le Flufy (Fluff) - rag.president@ousu.org
The RAG President is the lady in charge. They chair committee meetings, plan events, help with all areas of running RAG, and they are responsible for making sure that RAG's hare-brained plans turn into real, marketable events!
Vice-President
Charlotte Flowers - charlotte.flowers@regents.ox.ac.uk
The RAG Vice-President deputises for the President when pesky things like essay crises get in the way of doing RAG. Like the President, they are responsible for pitching in with everything that needs a bit of help, and chasing the rest of the Exec up. They also function as point person for RAG finances.
Secretary
Caroline Wedmore - caroline.wedmore@chch.ox.ac.uk
The Secretary's portfolio responsibility is that of taking minutes at Committee and Exec meetings, sending out emails and generally keeping everyone organised and in the loop. Everyone knows what's going on with a good RAG secretary.
Publicity team - Designer
Louis Barclay - louis.barclay@regents.ox.ac.uk
The designer is responsible for creating all sorts of posters and other promotional material for RAG, making sure it looks lovely, and organising the distribution far and wide. RAG publicity is crucial and worthwhile and this role provides great experience for anyone interested in advertising/design.
Press officer
Rob Day - robert.day@merton.ox.ac.uk
The Press officer is responsible for promoting RAG to the media, getting ads in the student newspapers, articles written on our publicity stunts etc.
Raids officer
Habiba Islam - habiba.islam@some.ox.ac.uk
The Raids officer organises RAG Raids (charity street collections, to most people). Must have untreated Infectious Enthusiasm to be a hit with this job.
Sponsorship Officer
Julia Pakpoor - julia.pakpoor@bnc.ox.ac.uk
The sponsorship officers work with the VP (C&C) to seek sponsorship for some of the specific events RAG organises in order to keep overheads low and maximise profit for the charities which we support.
Webmaster
Jack Turner - jack.turner@spc.ox.ac.uk
Updates oxfordrag.co.uk, and thinks of imaginative ways to use the internet to get people to part with their cash. Helps out where technology is simply too much for mere mortals.
Social secretary
Mo Chatterji - mohinoor.chatterji@sjc.ox.ac.uk
RAG is most successful if everyone works together as a team. This is often achieved through socialising together. The social secretary should organise at least one event a term where we can all meet up outside of RAG events to get to know each other better.
Casino Managers
Will Nomrington and Jeremy Boon ragcasino@ousu.org
Coordinates the bookings and volunteer croupiers for the fantastic RAG casino. Also keeps the equipment organised and up-to-date.

Jing Ouyang - jing.ouyang@bnc.ox.ac.uk
Sonali Patel - sonali.patel@hertford.ox.ac.uk
A non-portfolio officer is just so talented that they cannot be constrained by a job title or position. They like every member of the exec take on an event to organise (either leading on or being part of an events team). They just don't have specific other responsibilites.
