In my role as Chairman, I carry several responsibilities. First, I lead both General Board and General Members Meetings. In addition, it is essential that I am fully informed about everything concerning Magister JFT. This includes actively maintaining contacts, a crucial aspect of my duties. I maintain contact with various entities, including the Chambers of Magister JFT, the Faculty Board of TLS, the Executive Board of Tilburg University, other associations within and outside of Tilburg, and many more.
My duties include developing policy and new ideas, optimizing existing processes, and ensuring a positive work environment within the board. Finally, I am also the Chairman of TiGeAk, an umbrella organization that, in cooperation with other associations in Tilburg, represents the interests of all association boards at Tilburg University.

My responsibilities include managing multiple email accounts and overseeing the recruitment process for the central committees of Magister JFT, ensuring that all members find a fitting role within the association.

In addition, I coordinate a diverse range of engaging committees, including the Activities Committee, the Ice Committee, and the Almanac Committee. Moreover, I hold the role of Chair within the Application Committee. As part of my commitment to ensuring that our members always have someone to turn to, I also serve as the association's Confidential Contact Person.Lastly, I am accountable for various administrative tasks, such as maintaining the membership database, sending out the monthly member newsletter, crafting contributions for the yearbook, and, of course, documenting all significant General Board and Member meetings. It is indeed a challenging role where each day brings new experiences!
Treasurer

treasurer@magisterjft.nl
Hi everyone! My name is Imke, I am 22 years old and I currently am in my Masters Business Law. As Treasurer of Magister JFT, I am responsible for all financial matters within the association. I hold final responsibility for the financial flows within the Departments, Committees, and the Representative Body. An important part of my duties involves drafting the annual budget and financial year reports.
In addition to financial tasks, I manage the website and publish events on it. Furthermore, I coordinate three committees focused on (Pre-)Master students and the organization of trips, both within and outside of Europe. Additionally, the National Meeting of Law Faculty Associations (LOJFV) takes place twice a year, which I attend together with the Chair.
PR Commissioner
Gert Peeman
prcommissioner@magisterjft.nl
The PR commissioner mainly focusses on promotion and coordinating the mentorship. Next to that I coordinate a few central committees. For instance the First Year committee and the Media and Promotion committee. As a PR commissioner, every day is different and that’s what I really like about my function. One thing that is always the same: Everyday I get the chance to express my creative and social side. For the promotion I manage all the social media accounts and I create content for the central promotion. Next to that I help the Student Party and the Chambers with their promotion. For the mentorship I coordinate all student mentors and work together with the University to give first year students a good start. In short, a very versatile function where you can join very much experience.
