The HCA Executive Team consists of elected resident volunteer leaders who serve and represent all the residents of HUB, both within and in the larger university community. HCA Elections are held every March and are open to all HUB residents.
 Thank you for the opportunity to serve as HCA President this year. One of the great assets we have at HUB is our diverse community of over 800 residents from more than 20 different countries. Representing that diversity is really important. Our 2012-2013 HCA survey collected quantifiable metrics on our organization's performance and opportunities for improvement. I've reviewed these results and individual comments with great interest. Resoundingly, our office services were highlighted as a core value you receive from the HCA. You also wanted better infrastructure - better internet access, improvements to the Vault furnishings and better exercise equipment in our gym. Our most popular events are the free food events and the bottle depot and we will work to continue and expand these programs. So I want you to know I am listening. And our executive team is working to implement the things you said mattered. We also heard your voice during the association fee referendum. You gave us the imperative to strive to do more without raising fees, and I am confident our team will find ways to accomplish that. I hope to continue these important conversations with you as the year progresses. I appreciate your comments and suggestions at president@hublife.ca. Thank you for choosing to call HUB your home, and for your membership in the HCA. Keita president@hublife.ca
Vice President (Communications) - Bertie ChenMy name is Bertie and I am starting my second year of Electrical Engineering. As your new VP Communications, I look forward to making great posters featuring laser cats and keeping you up to date with all our happenings through Twitter and Facebook and our hublife.ca website. Many of my goals for HUB this year involve technology and social media integration, so residents can be better engaged and know what is going on.
When I'm not wasting time on the internet, I like to play classical and jazz music (on my saxophone and flute), run and work out, crochet and sew, and solve hard integrals (among other things). I enjoy small talk and long conversations, so email me at bertie@hublife.ca or the email below to do either!~~

Vice President (Finance and Administration) - Jiaxin XiongHi, everyone. I’m Jiaxin and I’m entering my second year of Finance. I’m looking forward to being your VP Finance and Administration. My goal is to increase the transparency and the involvement. So you can see about the HCA budget update every month and the HLT minutes. Here’s about myself. I like reading fiction and watching tv series (drama!) in my free time. I enjoy playing sports like badminton, squash and table tennis. I’m going to improve table tennis in this term! Another thing I’m interested is making friends with people of different ages and different jobs . It’s quite interesting to listen to their own story. If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to contact me!

Vice President (Operations) - Rebekah Seiler
Good morning, afternoon, or evening everyone! I am Rebekah Seiler, and I have lived in HUB for 2 years now. I am going into my third years of being a U of A student in the Faculty of Science (studying Psychology).
As your VP of Operations this next school year, I am excited about making the Vault a more welcoming place to hang out and spend time with friends, and making sure that the things in the Vault are all working.
In my spare time I like to sleep, read classic novels, watch BBC TV shows like Sherlock or Dr. Who, and taking walks on nice days.
If you have any questions about using the Vault, would like to report a broken item, or would like to suggest something you would like for the vault, please contact me! I really would like to know what you want, so contact me!

Vice President (Programming) - Ami Vora
Hello HUB residents!
My name is Ami Vora and I am entering my second year in studying a Specialization in Biochemistry. I look forward to planning and executing social events for the year, as I have many new ideas. My goal is to increase the number of events/ programs that require low commitment from residents - this will encourage them be more socially active within the HUB Community.
Some things about myself:
- I love to play sports - badminton, soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, martial arts - but don't like to work out. - My dream profession is to be a SPY!
- One of many characteristics that defines me: competitive - I have an interest in learning about ancient cultures
If you have suggestions for events or how improve past events, email me at ami@hublife,ca.

Vice President (Volunteers) - Winnie LoHello, I'm Winnie! I'll be entering my 3rd year in Science, and am looking forward to being VP Volunteers for the upcoming year :) My goal is for HUB residents to feel that living in HUB has enhanced their university experience!
As for what I like - that could end up being an incredibly long list, but a quick summary: I am an avid artist in my spare time - I enjoy drawing both pen and pencil, as well as working with mediums such as ink and tablet. Generally free time alternates between art and reading (fiction and manga!). Another activity I enjoy and having been improving on is badminton. I would definitely appreciate more partners and opponents anytime!
If you have any questions or concerns, want to volunteer, or just want to chat, feel free to contact me at: winnie@hublife.ca
