	Steven Anderson (ASFC President) Hi voters! My name is Steven Anderson and I am serving a second year on ASFC as well as a Senator on the California Student Senate. At Foothill, I have helped many students overcome academic and personal issues and have aided numerous clubs that ran into various difficulties. As a senator, I organized numerous community colleges into one group so that we can all address issues that affect us all. I promise I will devote as much energy and time as President to make sure that costs are lowered as well as increase the amount of activities. Top of page
	Raissa Dina Mbassa (Vice President of Finance) My name is Raissa Dina Mbassa, I am originally from Cameroon and I came to Foothill College to pursue my education in Economics. I plan to transfer to Berkeley with Associate degrees in Business Administration and Economics. I have been involved in programs on campus such as Pass The Torch and the Honors Institute and I am currently the Shades of Africa's Event Coordinator. Besides, I also work as an assistant in the Counseling division and volunteer at various events on campus.

	Pratha Sangar (Vice President of Finance) My name is Pratha Sangar and I am running for VP of Finance. I am a second year student at Foothill College, majoring in corporate finance. In these past years I have taken series of business classes, which has made me aware of the basics of the business world. Now I want to take my classroom experience to the next level by applying what I learned to be part of my college's success. By being a VP of Finance, not only will I add to my learning experience but it will also give me one in a lifetime opportunity to work with the ASFC finance board. This past year I was finance director for the Organization Boards of Directors, from which I learned about different funds and accounts that are devoted towards student services, and college use. I understand that one of the main responsibilities of this position is to become a student body voice to decide whether the funds should be allocated to a project. The knowledge and experience that I have acquired from being the president of Indian club has helped me improve my leadership skills which is one of the things that qualifies me for this position.
