2023 President: Joanna Quintana 

The E-board President shall be the leader and voice of the student body; provides inspiration and motivation; sets the tone at all meetings; creates a personal vision and mission for term in office; oversees members on the E-board; ensures the Constitution, policies, and procedures are correctly followed; collaborates with stakeholders; and creates proposals that will positively increase student life experiences.

“As ASB President, I intend to foster the strengths of the SCU community and represent student passions. My journey with ASB began as Treasurer a year ago, and it was exciting to see our student leaders and clubs in action. My aim is to continue supporting the growth of our professional network and student leaders,” said Joanna.

2023 Vice President: Tim Schrijver

The E-board Vice President (VP) shall assist the ASB E-board President in its duties and responsibilities.

The VP also serves as the Presiding Officer of the Student Senate and ensures Senate duties and responsibilities are met; holds meetings; shares information; documents and reports meeting minutes and outcomes; assists the Senate with following the ASB Constitution and SCU policies and processes; and executes practices that are ethical and fair.

“I am a 6th Term DC student and will be starting Term 7 in January 2023. I’m an international student from Canada and used to row for Team Canada before retiring in 2020 due to injuries and COVID changes. I really appreciate the time I had in sport and the opportunities it provided me, it has taught me to be passionate about the projects I commit to and has provided me the opportunity to be critical and realistic about management. I was a DC senator in my early terms and through that experience hope to fill this new role in an impactful way. As the new ASB VP I hope to help bring about some changes that help the student experience and improve everyone’s time here at SCUHS so that we feel proud of our time together and while we are studying we get the most of ourselves and feel supported along the way,” said Tim.

2023 Secretary: Kristeen Shamas

The E-board Secretary shall record all minutes and ensure documents are communicated to appropriate individuals, properly stored, and remain accessible; respond to emails; aid students with following appropriate policies and procedures; update all websites, documents, and other related materials with accurate information.

“Hello, my name is Kristeen (Kris) Shamas and I am excited to be your 2023 ASB Secretary! My goal is to make communication between the students and ASB quick and easy. As your new secretary, my plan is to put the students needs first. I hope to continue providing an open environment for students, and answer any questions you may have. As co-president of ICPA, and event coordinator of CalChiro, I believe I will fulfill my goals, and continue to make SCU a better place,” said Kristeen.

The E-board Treasurer shall serve as the primary manager of ASB funds; monitor, communicate, and update ASB’s financial account via Quickbooks; provide students with ethical and professional advice on spending proposals including forecasting balances; ensure fiscal procedures, guidelines, and policies are followed; and work in partnership with the Council of Clubs and Organizations (CCO) Chair.
