Application to the honorary and investment committees

Honorary Committee

The Teekkari Union of Tampere is looking for a new Honorary Committee starting from the 2025 term! The Honorary Committee's term lasts for three years, and the committee is seeking members who are ready to commit for the entire term. The committee is looking for individuals interested in the culture of recognition, primarily among those who have distinguished themselves or otherwise contributed significantly to the activities of the association or its predecessors. The application period for the committee is open until February 2, 2025. 

The Honorary Committee is an advisory expert body under the Teekkari Council, responsible for matters related to honors and awards. It makes proposals for recipients of merit and honorary decorations to the Board of the Teekkari Union of Tampere and the Teekkari Council. Additionally, the committee plays a role in preserving traditions. The committee ensures that those who have contributed to the Teekkari community are remembered and thanked. The Honorary Committee meets a few times a year to address the recognition of meritorious individuals, along with other relevant matters. 

If you have any questions about the application process or the Honorary Committee, feel free to contact the organization master on Telegram (@Ellujaa) or via email at jarjestomestari(at)tampereenteekkarit.fi.

Investment committee

Tampereen Teekkarit is seeking members for the Investment Committee for the year 2025. The application period is open until 2.2.2025. 

In accordance with the association's investment policy, the committee consists of the association's Minister of Finances, Chairperson, and at least three (3) community members interested in investing. The Investment Committee's term is the calendar year. 

Last year the Committee has operated in Finnish, as all the financial documents are in Finnish. When a competent person is found, these documents can be translated into English and change the operations to English. 

The investment principles of Tampereen Teekkarit are defined in the association's investment policy as follows: 

• The association is a long-term investor. 

• Investments are diversified to reduce risk across countries, asset classes, industries, and time. 

• Investments can be made not only in deposits but also in funds, all publicly traded securities (excluding derivatives), and securities issued by banks. 

• The investment activities are managed internally by the association (i.e., not outsourced). 

• No debt is taken for investment purposes, meaning no leverage is used. 

• The association is a sustainable investor, aiming to invest only in responsible assets in accordance with ESG principles. 

• The association does not invest directly in economically or socially harmful industries, such as the arms industry or industries producing fossil fuels. 

Anyone interested in investing is eligible to join the Investment Committee. Experience in the association's activities or investing in line with its principles is considered an advantage. 

If you have any questions about the Investment Committee, feel free to contact the association's Minister of Finances on Telegram (@Talousneuvos) or via email at talousmestari@tampereenteekkarit.fi.
