What is this Working Party Doing?

Last year the Executive Committee took on the major task of re-writing the constitution to make it shorter and easier to read. A lot of detail was taken out so that the Union was able to respond to the needs and desires of students without the students having to learn a lot of procedural details in order to be heard.

That constitution was agreed by the last Annual General Meeting.

A lot of the things which were taken out of the Constitution are still important, just not neccessarily as part of that document, which is the governing document of the Union. The Union is now going through a process of reviewing all of those elements which were not included in the revised constitution.

In order to do this the Union has set up a working party consisting of sabbatical officers and some staff. The group will come up with a range of operational recommendations and operational policies, which will go to the Executive Committee for their consideration.

Trustees

The following was agreed:

That we would seek to recruit one trustee with each of the following professional skills and experience;
  • Representation (experience of holding an elected office)
  • Finance
  • Business Management
  • Marketing or PR.
That we would not recruit current staff or governors of the University.

That we would not recruit people who had recently been officers of any Students' Union, but would consider individuals who had been offices in the past (as a guide line more than seven years ago)

That we would accept allumni but would not focus on recruiting from them.

That we would re-visit the issue of how we will recruit Trustees once the costs of using a recruitment agency had been investigated.
