► Governance

Bath Spa University Students’ Union is governed by a Board of Trustees which is made up of eight student Officers and four External Trustees who bring professional knowledge and skills in differing organisational and business areas. The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the performance and strategy of the charity. The Board is chaired by the Union President and meets at least four times per year as a full Board and more frequently in the form of subcommittees.

The day to day operational management is delegated to the Chief Executive who is responsible to the Board for operational management, strategy implementation and development & staff leadership.

Representation of students is delegated to the three Sabbatical Officers and the five Part Time Officers. They focus on policy, activities, lobbying and advocacy and, together with the other elected Representatives and Student Council, ensure that the voice of the students is heard.

Further details of our representation structures can be found on the main Representation web pages; our Constitution and Polices can be found under the About Us pages.
