Our Governance structures
JMSU is a democratically led charity and decisions within the Union are made in a number of committees by students, officers and trustees.
Our democratic committees directly involve our student members in decision making with Student Members Meeting being the highest body. Our governance committees, led by trustees, ensure the legal and financial compliance of the Union, as well as leading on significant decisions regarding strategy and operations.
Student Voice Structures
At JMSU, your voice matters. We’re here to make sure students lead the way in shaping your university experience. Here are the ways you can get involved, raise your ideas, and make change happen.
Student Members’ Meeting
This is an annual meeting open to our members. It’s where you can hear what JMSU’s working on, vote on important issues, and bring forward your own ideas.
Student Forum
This is a termly meeting where students discuss policies, raise issues, and influence the Union’s priorities. It’s a great space to get your voice heard.
Referenda
If something needs a Union-wide decision, it can go to a student vote. These are called referenda.
