About Riley

My name is Riley Reese. I’m in my third year of electrical engineering. I’m currently Co-VP Communications for the club, along with my co Malik. I work on hobby programming projects in my free time, I ski every winter, and I love to play piano – though I’m not any good.

I am running for VP OpsFi because I want to see the club running smoothly and efficiently. I think that I can make a real difference for the club in this role, and have an even greater impact than I have had during my time as Co-VP Communications.

Platform

1. The Budget

• I will create the 2026/2027 budget by the first week of November.

2. Transitions

• With the help of each portfolio, I will create standardized manuals that describe the day-to-day and long term responsibilities and operations of each vice president role.

• I will create standardized transition documents for each portfolio to clarify to future executives what their responsibilities will be

3. Merchandise

Vote Riley Reese for VP Operations and Finance!

My goal as VP Operations & Finance is to strengthen the financial and operational foundations of the Electrical Engineering Club while creating more opportunities for students to build, innovate, and bring their ideas to life.

1. Financial Continuity & Accountability

Ensure smooth transitions of financial responsibilities through proper signing-authority coordination, organized financial records, and clear executive handovers.

2. Budget Management & Reimbursements

Maintain the existing budget through proposed monthly financial reviews, accurate income and expense tracking, transparent reporting, and clearer reimbursement procedures. My focus is on making every dollar count.

3. Merchandise & Operations

Improve merchandise planning, supplier coordination, inventory tracking, and distribution by working with the existing Merchandise Coordinator and executive team.

4. Engineering Better Opportunities

Beyond these core responsibilities, I want to explore three initiatives: Student Project Support: Develop a potential microgrant program to help students obtain materials and components for engineering prototypes and personal projects.

Hardware Lending Library: Explore a system for students to borrow tools, microcontrollers, and other engineering equipment, building on existing club resources.

Your Club, Your Budget: Introduce opportunities for students to suggest how a portion of available discretionary club funds could support student-focused initiatives.

These proposals would depend on available funding, student interest, feasibility, and the club's established approval processes.

My Commitment

As an Electrical Engineering Co-op student, I value accuracy, responsibility, and follow-through. I want to apply these principles to dependable club operations while exploring practical opportunities that benefit EE students.

The work behind every opportunity matters.

Keeping EE Moving. Engineering Better Opportunities.
