Ethnic Minority Representative
Unpaid Part Time Executive Representative Positions
The Executive is a sub-committee of the Trustee Board, and its main core business is broadly overseeing the day to day activities, management and business of the Students’ Union. Some of the output is routed back through the elected official structures and some is tasked as priority actions for the Union Staff team and is delegated to the Staff Management Team through the General Manager. The Executive sits under the authority of the Trustee Board.
The Union Executive consists of the full time Executive officials (who are the four Sabbatical Officers and the three Campus Representatives) and a broader base of part-time Executive roles who sit to represent the specific needs and opinions of particular constituencies.
Each part-time Executive Representative is expected to self-identify as belonging to the constituency which they are elected to represent, with the exception of Environmental and Ethical Representative.
As well as being members of the Executive all of the part-time representatives are expected to champion the rights and opinions of their constituency in all aspects of the Union, and where appropriate work with other officials and groups and bring items to the attention of the relevant Forum or Assembly.
