Members meeting (in Swedish:Kårmöte) is the student union's highest governing body. Members meeting is an open meeting, meaning that all the students are entitled to attend but only the members are entitled to vote. The members meeting meets three times a year. At these meetings, the members decide on strategic issues such as student union statutes, regulations and policies. At November's meeting (that also counts as the annual meeting) they also decide the budget and business plan for the coming fiscal year.[1]
The board, is the union's highest executive body between the members meetings. The members of the board are appointed by direct vote of the students in the spring. An Election Committee which is formed by volunteer students, directs the elections in which all union members have voting rights. The board is responsible to implement the decisions taken at members meeting and is supposed to give a report to members meeting about the union activities. The board is also responsible for the union's economy in terms of budgeting and budget tracking. The issues that are too urgent to be dealt with in members meeting, are taken care of by The board. The members should represent a diversity of gender, age and education area. The board is headed by a president who is assisted with a vice president.
