My name is Brendan MacNeil. I am a fourth year finance student, and one of the founding executives of the Acadia Investment Club. I have worked for three years in the investment industry, and am passionate about technology and startups, and the role we as students play in that. As president of the Axechange (business school) podcast I have investigated many of the business leaders and entrepreneurs building the next generation in Atlantic Canada, and I am determined to bring these opportunities to Acadia.

VP Finance and Operations: Joseph Creagh
I am running for the position of VP Finance and Operations because of my passion for Acadia and the accounting field. I strive to take what I have learned in the classroom and apply it to the real world. Acadia University and more specifically, the Acadia Business program has taught me a lot. I hope that I would be able to pay back Acadia with fiscal responsibility and responsible spending.
When I was younger, I never wanted to be an astronaut or a race car driver. I always wanted to be an accountant. This passion for accounting continues to this day. This enthusiasm would aid me in the position; it’s also an excellent opportunity to apply my financial aptitudes and interest in student benefits.
Acadia is a great place, and if I can contribute in any way to making this next year as enjoyable as my other years, I will be delighted to do so.

Vice President Finance: Yoram Schroll
My name is Yoram Schroll and I am ecstatic to be one of the candidates for VP Finance and Operations. As an international student coming to Canada I really value Acadia’s warm and welcoming community. I want to return the favour. I did my part in creating a strong and healthy community as a Resident Assistant of Chipman House for the past two years.
I would like to continue contributing to Acadia and what it means to call this your home as your VP Finance and Operations.
Going into my 4th year as an Acadia business student I am confident in my abilities to complete the positions task.
But telling you that I am going to do what I am required of is waste of yours and my time.
I will stress the importance of financial transparency and consistent communication by keeping the student population in the loop on the Union’s expenditures.
I will show support to Internal Organization’s, Councils and the general student body in finding financial solutions to problems. I won’t always have the answer to your question, but I certainly will help you find it.
I will firmly represent the students of Acadia in all aspects finance and operations.
Finally, I will constantly look for new revenue streams that will ensure all students are able to create their own unforgettable Acadia experience.
