In the span of an entire academic year, these five individuals commit a significant portion of their time to the comprehensive management of Café in de Smitse. Their primary objective is to furnish students with a well-earned and delightful reprieve through the provision of beverages following a day replete with lectures. Anchored in the ethos of ‘For students, by students,’ their voluntary commitment is the cornerstone enabling Café In de Smitse to present libations at notably budget-friendly prices within the campus confines. Their overarching aspiration is to exert a positive influence on student life by fostering an inclusive and inviting ambiance, offering a communal space for both students and educators to convene post-classes.
In the forthcoming insights, each of the five dedicated board members will provide a glimpse into the specifics of their day-to-day responsibilities. Take a closer examination of the inner workings and nuances that define a board year at Café in the Smitse. Discover the unique facets and intricacies that each board member contributes, shedding light on the diverse functions that collectively shape the operational landscape of the establishment.
As the treasurer of In de Smitse, you are in charge of the financial part of the organization. The end goal is to make sure that every euro spent delivers the intended benefit to the organization as a whole. This requires a lot of contact with all the different committees and, of course, the other board members in order to get the most up-to-date information.
To keep an overview of finances, the treasurer performs several tasks. At the beginning of the year, a budget is drawn up. This has to be in line with the long-term strategic policy of the organization. During the year, the budget will be adjusted to new expectations of costs and revenues in order to make the right decisions for all projects.
In addition to making the budget, the treasurer takes care of the financial administration and is responsible for timely payment of invoices and debtors. Another task is identifying possible risks and deciding how to handle them.
But being a treasurer is not just about numbers! You play a crucial role in collaboration with everyone involved with In de Smitse, where you are often the bridge between different parties. This requires a solid communication in order to get to know everyone’s wishes and needs.

Café In de Smitse is more than what you are used to in a normal bar. It is a place on campus to offer students a place to relax and step away from the stress of studying.
As Internal Relations Commissioner, I am proud to contribute my part to this bar. This part means that as Human Resource Manager, I am busy putting together the team of volunteers and for this team, bringing the fun here every day! This means that I also make sure that regular trips are organised for the team. I cant do that all by myself, so I get help from the Events Committee. They also organise events for all of you, like Flugel Fissa, the Pubquiz and BeerBingo.

The commissioner of external relations is responsible for bringing in partnerships and maintaining contacts and contracts that are related to this. Think of study associations, student associations and other organizations that are on campus. Maintaining the relations between our external partners, such as Coca Cola and local breweries, is also the job of the commissioner of external relations.
The commissioner of external relations is also responsible for the name recognition of In the Smitse, and all promotion and branding involved in this. You manage all social media channels, guide the marketing committee and almanac committee and are responsible for the marketing of parties and events In de Smitse.
In addition, together with some study associations, you organize the Open EUR Festival on campus. Open EUR takes place at the end of each academic year and is visited by over 2,000 people.
