President
Interested in the position of president? Become a CAW member and submit your application. If you have any questions, please contact the CAW board at verein@dercaw.de.
The president heads the CAW board and coordinates the overall administration of the club. The other members of the board report to the president. Decisions are made by the board, but according to the by-laws, the president has the right to make decisions alone in exceptional cases, as long as he acts in the interests of the club. However, such decisions must be carefully considered, as the president represents the CAW in public and serves as its face, so to speak. In this role, he also opens the regulars' tables, awards certificates and gifts, and participates in official events of the Freising fraternities. The president should be the most experienced member of the board and has usually held other positions on the board prior to taking office. The primary role of the president is to ensure that the good spirit of the club lives on.

Custodian
Name: Sanharpoth Petchmunee
Not always do international students approach the CAW, sometimes the CAW also approaches international students. When the visit of Her Royal Highness the Princess of Thailand to Weihenstephan was announced in spring 2024, the CAW was given the task of documenting the lives of Thai students in Weihenstephan and recruiting them for the visit. Through the student council, we learnt of a Thai brewing student who not only agreed to brew his own beer during the visit, but also to take on responsibility within the CAW board. And who could be better suited to the position of custodian than a passionate brewer? |

Inventory Keeper Name: Ka Nok Keith Chan
Keith lives and works in the building that houses the CAW archive. This gives him access to the entire inventory at all times, so he knows exactly whether he needs to look for CAW pins, certificates or regulars' table items in the attic or in the basement. As a good inventory manager, he not only takes care of the administration of items, but also resurrects lost club inventory. As long as his job as a graphic designer allows, he models old club items and brings them back to life using 3D printing. |

Treasurer
Name: Stefan Steinhauser
In this day and age, with the Association for the Promotion of International Students in Weihenstephan taking care of the CAW's finances, is there still a need for a treasurer? Yes, because regular get-togethers promote socialising and are detrimental to charitable status. The CAW therefore still has an independent boot fund, and there are no donation receipts for boot donations. In addition, someone has to be at the regulars' table every week to pay for the many beer boots and to motivate the alumni to put a few banknotes in the boot book. Stefan, who as treasurer of the association also manages the rest of the finances, is currently taking care of this. |

Secretary / Social Media Manager
Name: Stefan Steinhauser
Kinga has adapted well to the Bavarian environment, she is always up for a beer. She has much more enthusiasm to attend a CAW event than to follow up lectures, but studying longer only means more student life! Her favourite thing about her degree is the practical modules, genetics and neurobiology. In addition to her studies, she also works at the university, in her spare time she enjoys doing sports and is a talented baker. She is looking forward to meeting everyone at a regulars' table! |
