Governance and Trustees
As a charity, Leeds University Union has a Board of Trustees to oversee key decision making which relates to the future of LUU.
Trustees volunteer their time to make sure that the Union makes sound financial decisions, obeys legal frameworks and responds to the needs of students.
The Board of trustees is supported by sub-committees which focus on four key areas of the Union's work:
Audit & Risk Committee
Audit & Risk committee have the responsibility of monitoring LUU’s finances, risk profile and other aspects which could impact on LUU’s future health. They scrutinise the annual accounts, ask questions when our commercial operations aren’t performing as they should be and make sure that LUU is complying with laws and regulations.
Human Resources & Remuneration Committee
The HR committee examine issues relating to LUU staff; staff survey results, pay changes, training and development and staff policies are all discussed at this meeting.
Appointments & Governance Committee
The Appointments Committee is responsible for ensuring that new trustees are recruited and inducted and developed properly. They also have overall responsibility for recruiting the Chief Executive of LUU.
Marketing and Development Committee
The Marketing and Development Committee is responsible for fundraising, marketing and development decisions and for the 5 year strategic review cycle.
