== The Standing Committees==


'''THE MEMBERSHIP COMMITTEE'''
''The official screening committee.''

The Membership Committee (MemComm) is the body mandated to handle all affairs concerning membership to the organization. These tasks include the application process (i.e. acceptance of new members), renewal of membership, leave of absence, delinquency of members, and probationary membership. MemComm is also in charge of keeping all records pertaining to such tasks.


''' THE PUBLICATIONS COMMITTEE'''
''Information. Connection. Commitment. Service.''

As the name suggests, the Publications Committee (PubComm) is in charge with the release of all publication materials such as Polaris, the official newsletter of GEC, and other materials used to help promote the organization's events and activities, whether online, digital or in print. PubComm is also the organization's official production team, as most, if not all, of its exhibits and others things creative are made by this group of highly artistic people. Besides these tasks, it also heads EARTHistic, a Luzon-wide poster making competition among high school students which aims to promote geodetic engineering to prospective UP students.


'''THE FINANCE COMMITTEE'''
''Your ever friendly banking committee. Pay up, dirtball!''

Inasmuch as funds tend to be the blood of any of the organization’s events and activities, carefully managing the finances is a very important task, and the Finance Committee (FinComm) takes on this tough job. FinComm also manages and coordinates all fundraising activities of the organization, and plans and allocates the funds to support its logistical needs.



'''THE ACADEMIC AFFAIRS COMMITTEE'''
''The ever dependable tutors and librarians. Need help?''

Being an academic organization, GEC values academic excellence more than anything else. The Academic Affairs Committee (AcadComm) keeps all the organization’s academic resources and, more importantly, facilitates tutorials and other similar activities that help the members do well in their academics. AcadComm also heads two of the organization’s major events namely, The Geek Show, a University-wide quiz show, and Geoid Quiz, a Luzon-wide quiz bee among high school juniors which also aims to promote geodetic engineering to future UP students.



'''THE INTERNAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE'''
''The official gluing committee. Okay pal, stick 'em up!''

The Internal Affairs Committee (Inte) is the house police force that ensures two things: keeping the tambayan and everything in it spic and span, and maintaining the family atmosphere among the members. Inte oversees all maintenance works such as general cleaning and repairs, as well as an inventory of equipments and tools of the organization. It also organizes bonding activities to keep everyone tight and to make sure, as Stitch puts it, “nobody gets left behind or forgotten.”


'''THE EXTERNAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE'''
''It's a big world out there. Glad to keep you in touch.''

The External Affairs Committee (Exte) is the organization’s liaison team. As such, it is in charge of coordinating with other organizations and groups not only in the College but also in the entire University and, sometimes, even outside. It also brings concerns from outside of GEC to the members in order to keep everyone aware of the current and important issues that affect the organization and its members as students. Among the projects handled by Exte include blochandling, outreach programs and UP Fair boothing.


'''THE MARKETING COMMITTEE'''
''We make it happen, big time!''

The Marketing Committee (Mktg) works hand in hand with FinComm to gather enough funds for the organization’s major events. It is in charge of contacting various companies to sponsor our events, and it also makes sure that a good relationship is made along with the partnership. Simply put, Mktg facilitates fundraising at a scale larger than what FinComm does.
