As Chairman, my practical duties include leading General Board and General Members' meetings. It is also important that I am aware of everything concerning Magister JFT. This means that maintaining contacts is a big part of my job. For example, I am in contact with the Chambers of Magister JFT, the Faculty Board of TLS, the Executive Board of Tilburg University, other associations in Tilburg and from other cities and more. It is my job to work on policy and new ideas, improve processes as they are currently run and ensure that there is a nice working environment within the board. Finally, I am also Chairman of TiGeAk, an umbrella organisation that, together with other associations from Tilburg, represents the interests of all association boards at Tilburg University.

Of course, supporting the student also involves other matters, such as managing the book list, summaries and exam trainings.

General Board member and Chairman Magister JFT | E-Law
elawchairman@magisterjft.nl
As chairman of Magister JFT | E-Law your tasks are not always specific or clearly outlined which leaves you with a lot of wiggle room and space for creativity. That being said, in your position you will have to organise regular meetings with your board members to make sure events are being planned and new or existing speakers are being approached. As an LLM student it is understandable that you do not have that much time on your hands, but it is possible to balance the role alongside your degree as you have the flexibility to decide when to have your board meetings and when to organise events.
Throughout the year you, with your board, have a wide array of topics to choose from, be it medical law, data protection and privacy law or competition law. You help organizing all kind of interesting activities for Law & Technology students.
As chairperson of Magister JFT | E-Law you are also part of the general board which sees to it that the association runs smoothly, and you can achieve goals for the law school! You have the opportunity to directly improve your university experience and that’s pretty neat.
