DSEP is run by an exec consisting of seven members, which is elected at a general meeting (normally the Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in April/May). All members of DSEP can run for any position in the DSEP exec, but we encourage those interested in the exec to get involved in the society before running for a position.
The exec is lead by The President together with the Vice President. The Vice President is currently responsible for the work on the curriculum in the Economics course. The Secretary is responsible for the administrative work of the society, and The Treasurer keeps control of the society’s economy, including sponsorship. The Editor is responsible for creating new issues of o ‘The Pluralist’ to be published on its official site. The Publicity Officer is responsible for the graphical work and makes sure the society is visible through social media and other platforms. The Event Officer is responsible for all the events hosted by DSEP, pluralist sessions being the most important one. The Public Education Officer (currently inactive) is responsible for the work on making economics accessible in our local community.
