Clubs and Societies Committee Elections

CLUBS AND SOCIETIES COMMITTEE ELECTIONS 2025

Our clubs and societies are run by students for students, and our committees are made up of the students who make it all happen. Each committee is made up of three positions:

GROUP PRESIDENT - responsible for the general day-to-day running of the club/society and shall be entitled to represent the club/society at all times in matters affecting its interests. This includes scheduling regular meetings of the committee and the group, and communicating with relevant companies and the Students’ Union. They shall look after the financial structures, risk assessments, and planning of the group and chair the AGM and Committee Elections.

MEMBERSHIP PRESIDENT - responsible for the marketing, recruitment, promotion, and organisation of the membership. They will be responsible for maintaining the group’s social media and making sure it is up-to-date, robust, and affective. They are also in charge of increasing and managing the group’s members and that all the membership and committee are following the constitution and bylaws.

EXPERIENCE PRESIDENT - responsible for the event organisation, socials, campaigns, fundraising initiatives, welfare, and inclusivity of the group. They will take the lead on talking to relevant companies, stakeholders, and the Students’ Union. They will ensure that the club/society is being as inclusive as it can within the parameters of their activity and ensure student safety is a priority. They signpost to relevant services and ensure the group is being a positive influence on campus and the membership.
