ANOTHER ONE:

HEY QHNS! I’M ANDY (HE/HIM) AND I’M RUNNING FOR A SECOND TERM AS YOUR DIRECTOR OF FINANCE.
I’ve had the privilege of serving in this role over the past year, helping manage the organization’s finances and support the incredible work being done across QHNS. Professionally, I work for the Province of Nova Scotia, where I manage my department’s budget and oversee financial planning and reporting.
Outside of the spreadsheets, I’ve been part of the QHNS community for several years, playing in Pride Cup for the past four years and joining Rainbow League last season. This community means a lot to me, and I’d love the opportunity to continue giving back by helping ensure QHNS remains financially strong and sustainable as we continue to grow.
Thanks for your support, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Meet your Candidates…ROUND 2.

Hello!
We are Nora (She/They) and Lars (They/Them) and we’re running as 2 peas in a pod this year. Nora is running to be your President; with Lars in the background as VP. Most of y’all already know Nora, she’s the current president of QHNS and the longest-running member of the QHNS board. She has the big picture view of the org and loves thinking about the long-term stability and growth of the org. She’s committed to the q***r politics of sports and maintaining QHNS’s identity as an activist organization, setting us apart from the rest of the hockey options in the HRM.

Lars, has also been around from the start, but a full introduction is probably necessary! I’m Lars, I’ve been playing hockey my whole life and I’ve been volunteering with hockey, student government, q***r orgs, and hockey leagues for almost 10 years now. I’m known for my attention to detail, accidental memorization of governing docs, and general ability to take things the proper amount of serious. I ā¤ļø the community that QHNS has cultivated, and I want the opportunity to give back. I want to be an extra set of hands to help out the other members of the executive, and then focus on policy/procedure/admin. I know that y’all don’t want to have to think about that extra jazz when you come to hockey, so I wanna make them as seamless for y’all as possible so you don’t HAVE to think about it.
