Laten we ons even voorstellen! Wij zijn WSAC Ibex, de Wageningse studenten-klimvereniging. We zijn een actieve outdoor sportvereniging met veel interessante mensen en veel verschillende activiteiten. We bieden krachttrainings, klimtechniek-trainings, klim- en bouldertrips naar het buitenland klimcursussen en je kunt zelfs zelf instructeur worden! Naast de klimactiviteiten organiseren we regelmatig barbecues, filmavonden, kanotrips, spelletjesavonden en andere leuke events. Geen tijd? Geen probleem! Als je eenmaal lid bent, is aanwezigheid nooit verplicht. Je komt alleen wanneer je wil, omdat je wil.
Identity
Ibex has an interesting history. Our predecessor started out as a sub-association of CERES, a student association (fraternity/sorority) in Wageningen. Due to the limitations this entailed, some members split off and founded their own climbing association: WSAC Ibex. Today, Ibex is an internationally oriented association with many interesting opportunities and very few obligations. That means that we have many members with a wide variety of backgrounds and interests. We have boulderers, alpinists, outdoor climbers, indoor climbers, people who like to climb with creative twists, people who want to go for the hardes routes and people who prefer to just talk about climbing over a beer. Most of us also have other interests besides climbing, and a lot of members also join one of our many committees.
Governance
Ibex is governed by a board of six people: the chairperson, the secretary, the treasurer, the activities commissioner, the material and education commissioner and the weekend commissioner. They can request advice and approval from the Advice Council for difficult decisions. Every half year, the board presents the current status of the association to the General Members Meeting or GMM. This is a gathering where every member is welcome. The GMM holds the board accountable for the past half year, votes on proposals for controversial or impactful changes in the association and votes on board changes.
