NUS Conference Delegates
The National Union of Students is the national representative body of students in the UK with over 3 million members. NUS is a federal organisation, what this means is that individual students unions like UBSU decide to join NUS each year and pay an affiliation fee to support the work of the national union.
NUS like students’ unions across the UK is a democratic organisation. Individual students’ unions encourage students to stand for election as NUS Conference Delegates. These delegates represent their colleges and can propose and vote on important policies at NUS annual conference. These policies really do have an effect on ordinary students as they shape the work of the NUS for the coming year, this can include policies on student finance, liberation campaigns (such as LGBT, BME, Women’s etc). As well as setting policy NUS also has elected officers. There are full time and part time officers, any student can stand for election. At the national conference usually held in the second term of the year in Blackpool conference holds elections for these positions. It is your delegates who vote at these elections, and the range of candidates is often very diverse and political. Bearing in mind the delegates from your SU help to choose who will be running NUS and representing almost all the students in the UK it is important that you either stand as an NUS Conference delegate or vote for candidates you want to represent you.
