Board of Trustees

Student Insights About the NUS Work with us

As a charity, Beds SU is legally obligated to be overseen by the board of trustees. Beds SU Trustees consists of a full-time elected officer, two appointed student trustees, a University appointed trustee and four external trustees who are appointed based on their skills and experience.

The primary role of the board of trustees is to ensure that our organisation is well run, has a robust strategic plan, is financially stable and operates within the Law. Management of Beds SU is delegated to the Chief Executive officer, who is supported by a senior management team and further staffing team.
