NUS Boards
NUS’ work is overseen and governed by our joint Boards. These boards meet together to oversee our strategy and to ensure delivery of our work is happening. The Boards meet regularly across the year to review finances, plan delivery and any emerging issues. They also make decisions on membership of both NUS UK and NUS Charity. Read more about the work of the Boards here.
The Boards are made up of our elected officer team plus students, SU staff members and externals with a particular expertise. Read board member profiles here.
Our board members play an active role in supporting the work we do, through leading projects, facilitating communities of practice and making decisions on finance, HR and membership. You will hear regularly from the boards in our membership updates and at key NUS events.
