• If you are interested in being part of the leadership of SWS through the Executive Board, you must fill out an application to be an Associate or Analyst.– We will be deciding on Executive Board

members in late February or early March.– Executive Board members also have the

opportunity to sit on the Investment Board.

what we’re looking for• Analysts:

– Leadership ability– Knowledge of the

industry– Dedication and

passion for investing– Organizational and

analytical skills– Commitment to SWS

• Associates:– Interest in the

industry– Willingness to learn– Commitment to SWS

The function of Analysts and Associates will be to produce

investment recommendations to an Investment Board. The analysis and work done is similar to the work done on the Investment Project, though on

a more in-depth scale with greater implications.

All positions will be for a semester; upon a new semester, you may decide to apply for a higher

position, take on a new role in a different industry, or opt to stay an SWS Member.

Because we are a new organization, we expect that

some Analysts who are chosen will also sit on the first

Investment Board.** In the future, we expect to choose Investment Board members

on the basis of their work within the Industry Teams.
