The Exec are elected on by the members each year and there's normally a 50% turnover from one year to the next due to some members leaving to go to university, so anyone can stand for elections which take place around September.

If you have any questions about the way the Unit is run, any ideas for activities or any other issues you wish to raise about anything Unit-related or not, they're there to represent the membership as a whole and can take issues into their own hands and/or pass on to the leadership team and make things happen! They're all very aproachable so just grab one of them for a chat if you need to.
