President Candidates:

Name: Kiley Clarquist
Semesters with WRFW: 4
Why are you running for this position? What makes you uniquely qualified for this role?: As President of WRFW this past year, I have worked to achieve considerable growth of the club and done work to make the club stronger and more organized. WRFW has grown to 40 DJs this past year through work that myself and the Leadership team has done for outreach, as well as personally working to develop a streamlined training process.
I worked to revisit the WRFW training guide, a document that was 13 pages long, featured unnecessary information and was difficult to reference. Thus, I created a simplified and highly accessible document that is available for DJ and trainer use, down to only nine pages and created collaboratively to ensure all aspects of training was covered. Additionally, I dedicated time to redoing both the physical and digital schedules, as well as other whiteboards used for DJ updates.
As a team, we also revised how WRFW was structured in the past and took time to create Leadership positions that were relevant and beneficial to the club. The Leadership team is now one that is stronger than ever, with everyone serving a purpose to better WRFW. Although I personally worked hard to get WRFW to where it is today, I attribute our successes to my peers within the Leadership team. Together, we have been able to create a club that is lively and like a family. 
As President next year, I would want to shift my focus to gaining more listeners of WRFW, not just DJs. Although DJ retention is very important to me, I also recognize that the hard work all our DJs do should be heard by school and community members alike. I aim to work at this by increasing our marketing efforts (thus, the creation of "marketer" as a position) and working with other school entities to get WRFW playing on more speakers and in more headphones. Additionally, I want to continue giving the studio some much needed attention, making the lounge space more inviting and further improving our organizational efforts for the long run.

Apart from taking marketing classes I have experience working with local businesses in my hometown to create marketing content for them.
