Dia daoibh, my name is Mohammad Naeem and this year I elected as the Leas-Uachtaran for the Coiste Gnó 23/24. I’m 18 years old and I have recently completed my Leaving Certificate. This is my third year on the Coiste Gnó, I have sat two terms as the Regional Liaison and Support Officer. I have the overall responsibility for the organisation and coordination of the internal work of the union. I play a key role in the ISSU grassroots development alongside the RLSO. I assist the Uachtaran with their day to day work and assist them in supporting the Coiste Gnó. I am delighted that students elected me as their Leas-Uachtaran and I’m looking forward to working with the CG, ROB and students.
I will work to promote the grassroots engagement of the union, ensuring that the Irish Second-Level Students' Union (ISSU) remains accessible to all students. Building on my experience as the RLSO for the past two years, I understand the importance of engaging with students on the ground. One of my key responsibilities as Leas-Uachtarán will be to organise significant events such as An Chomhdháil Bhliantúil.
I will ensure that these events are well-organised, engaging, and effectively promote the goals and objectives of the ISSU. Additionally, I will prioritise the planning of Coiste Gnó meetings, ensuring they are well-structured and that the minutes produced are of a high standard. Supporting officer training and development will be another crucial aspect of my role.
I will collaborate with other officers to design and implement comprehensive training and upskilling resources tailored to the different branches of the union. I will work closely with the Uachtarán to organise team bonding activities and provide support with their day-to-day responsibilities. By fostering a strong and positive relationship among officers, we can create an environment where the Coiste Gnó is well-prepared to achieve the goals of the ISSU and effectively serve the needs of its members.
I will conduct thorough reviews of the ISSU's constitution, membership engagement strategies, and available resources. It is crucial to ensure that these policies and resources remain up-to-date and effective in guiding the growth and development of our organisation.
