Student Guild Board
What is the Student Guild Board?
The Student Guild Board is a majority student-led board responsible for the overall direction and governance of the Student Guild. The Board includes elected student representatives and skills-based members who help shape strategy and ensure the Guild acts in students’ best interests.
The Board is supported by five subcommittees that advocate for the interests, needs and priorities of students, while also helping to ensure strong governance and compliance across the organisation.
