Our Structure

The board meets monthly to discuss and make decisions about ECSU business. The most important decisions, like changes to by-laws and review of audited financial statements, happen during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) in December. The AGM is an event for members to hear the progress that the Students’ Union has made during the year, and learn more about the inner workings of the organization.
