-==== Host's / Hostess' helper ====
+===== What is an officer? =====
-As a host's / hostess' helper, you will organize sauna evenings together with the host(ess) during the year.
+The officers of the Tampereen TietoTeekkarikilta, known as toimarit, work together with TiTe’s board. The difference compared to the actual board is not significant, nor is it very noticeable in day-to-day activities. At the general meeting, the guild elects a chair candidate, who in turn proposes the guild’s board. After the turn of the year, this board selects the officials based on applications and interviews.
+There are many different types of official positions, and they are not set in stone. You can even propose a new position! Being an officer is an easy way to experience how the guild operates behind the scenes and to contribute your part. The workload varies slightly between roles, and some positions can also be combined. There are no prerequisites, enthusiasm is a bonus but attitude is what matters most!
+==== Educational Politics Officer ====

Together, they organize events (e.g., MOSKA, Kopo Pizza, guild coffees), represent the members in educational policy matters, handle study-related feedback and respond to it, participate in meetings of educational and social policy representatives both at the faculty level and within TREY, and maintain contact with the faculty as well as TiTe’s student representatives in administration.

For sauna evenings, the Teekkarisauna Mörrimöykky is usually reserved. Once on site, the host/hostess ensures that the sauna and hot tub are warm and that there is enough refreshments for everyone. TiTe has several sauna events each year, and the host’s workload is concentrated around these events and the evenings may be long. Host/hostess and the helper work as a team and can decide on the division of duties.
