Hunter Stecko
Hunter Stecko is running unopposed for the Vice President of Finance position. Stecko is currently serving as treasurer within USG. As Vice President of Finance, Stecko aims to decentralize the reimbursement process to the members of the Finance Committee and shifting the Treasure role in order to serve a club advocate role, allowing for better communication with club leaders, transparency and smoother service. Stecko also supports efforts to increase accountability into club funding and require club usage of CDEP debit cards. Stecko also plans on introducing meritocracy and accountability into club funding, which he plans on using in order to reward the clubs based on merit, rather than knowing how to navigate the funding system.
