NUS Wales Council: Tuesday 24 November 2009

NOTICE OF COUNCIL

NUS Wales Council is one of the two main democratic events that NUS Wales hold each year. The main purpose of this event is to pass policy that will set the political direction of NUS Wales for the year ahead, and to hold the NUS Wales NEC to account. Each affiliated students' union (in both FE and HE) are allowed to send delegates to this event, with the size of delegations dependent on the size of the institution. Anyone interested in attending NUS Wales Council should contact their students' union and find out when delegate elections are being held and how to stand as a candidate.
