BSN Board Seeks New Resident Representative Starting Fall 2023!
As the resident representative, you will have a unique opportunity to contribute to the welfare of the residents while gaining experience from a well-managed real estate company.
BSN is an independent foundation with 598 housing units for BI students. The foundation was started by BI students in Sandvika in the 1990s and is still directly linked to BI and the students through the board. This board consists of the resident representative with a deputy, external representatives, a representative from BI, and a representative from BISO. The board approves remuneration annually; in 2022, the resident representative was compensated with NOK 29,751, and the deputy representative with NOK 2,479 per meeting. The deputy is expected to attend every meeting, approximately 6-7 times a year.
The resident representative is initially elected as a deputy to become familiar with the tasks in collaboration with the current resident representative. This way, the deputy and the resident representative work as a team on issues that affect the residents. Additionally, they manage a welfare budget of approximately NOK 80,000 annually, which has previously been used for events for residents, furnishing the rooftop terrace, etc.
Martin Bråtun took over as the resident representative in the spring of 2023. The newly elected deputy will become a full board member during 2024.
“For me, this is a unique opportunity to gain relevant board experience, providing me with much knowledge and insight into how a large real estate company is run. At the same time, it is incredibly rewarding to be the students’ voice on the board, where I feel well heard and respected by the other board members. If you want to contribute to the community and focus on the welfare of the students, I highly recommend this position to engaged students!”
