Durham Students’ Union Trustees
Durham Students’ Union has been through considerable changes over the last eight months and now the Union is needs your help. DSU is looking for four dedicated and experienced individuals to join the Union’s Trustee Board as co-opted(non-student) trustees as well as four enthusiastic Durham Students to be elected as Student Trustees.
In February nearly three thousand students turned out to vote for changes that will improve their Student Union. A new constitution and a new trustee board were proposed by the Sabbatical Officers and the changes were overwhelmingly supported.
The new Trustee Board is comprised of four co-opted trustees, four sabbatical officers and four student trustees, and is the governing body of the Union; collectively trustees have ultimate responsibility for all the Union’s affairs. Co-opted (non-student) trustees will be recruited for the skills and experience they can bring to the management of the Union.
There are vacancies for four co-opted (non student) trustees, taking office from 1 August 2008. To apply please click on the application pack above.
Please note: The deadline to appply to be a co opted trustee has moved to 5pm on 12th June 2008.
