Personal statement: The Society’s income derives from publications, investments, De Morgan House, dona-tions, grants, and not least its members. Balanced financial management is needed to use this income to support both UK mathematics and international initiatives. I would continue to contribute to this rewarding task, as well as supporting the publications team and fundraising activity.
