News AUJS executive elected
Public affairs coordinator Noah Loven will succeed Alissa Foster as AUJS president, while Zac Morris was elected vice president.
The Australasian Union of Jewish Students (AUJS) held its annual general meeting (AGM) on Sunday, as leaders from across Australia and New Zealand gathered together to discuss policy priorities and elect the new leadership team for 2024.
Public affairs coordinator Noah Loven will succeed Alissa Foster as AUJS president, while Zac Morris was elected vice president.
Loven said he is “honoured to be elected president of AUJS and be a part of a fantastic executive”.
“Our focus for 2024 is to elevate Jewish student life and overcome the challenges Jewish students face on campuses,” he said. “By building on this past year’s achievements, we want to ensure that every Jewish student in Australia and New Zealand is supported, heard and empowered to express their Jewish identity and contribute positively to the community.”
Morris said, “I am really excited to continue the incredible work AUJS has done as we tackle the inevitable challenges over the next year. I am confident that we’ll be able to make a difference with the outstanding team and community we have behind us.”
Reflecting on her tenure, Foster said, “I am incredibly proud of the work AUJS has done over the past year. This is in full credit to the hard-working and passionate team I have had the pleasure to work with. Specifically, I’d like to thank vice-president Paris Enten for her dedication, commitment and leadership over 2023. While my time in AUJS is coming to an end, the high calibre of the incoming team led by Noah and Zac makes me really excited to see what the future holds.”
AUJS general manager Joey Wilkinson said, “The AGM showcased how passionate, dedicated and innovative young people in our community can be. With several hotly contested elections, the evening was a testament to the strength of this incredible organisation. A special thank you must go out to 2023 president Alissa Foster and vice-president Paris Enten. Together, they were the driving force behind a monumental change for the better, both in AUJS and throughout the whole community.”
