Speech help?!?

I’m considering being the Treasurer of my school’s Student’s Council.

I’m really good at math, but I dont want to say that in my speech…

Any pointers on what I should say?!

THANKS IN AHEAD!! :]

I will say that I like Groggy’s answer best so far. Math skills are crucial in a treasurer position.

It’s not enough to be able to run a calculator, you need to understand HOW to balance a checkbook to make sure the money your fellow students place in your trust isn’t shortchanged by the bank.

Also, you need to understand the costs and benefits of various types of investments so you can get the best return on your money. After all, more interest means more money means better prom/dance, student field trip, etc.

If there have been issues with dishonesty with past treasurers, I would definitely emphasize your personal honesty and also suggest a “checks and balance” system you would ask to be instituted if elected which would allow at least one other person to oversee your work.

Good luck…

i bet enron’s jeff skilling was good in math & look what happened. he stole people’s money. for a post like treasurer i’d go for an HONEST guy any day.

but tell them you’re good in math anyway. that you’re someone who can account for each dollar, where it came from and where it went.
