Here we are after three very intensive, yet
incredible, days at conference. Each day
has brought a new insight into the inner workings of the NUS and what their
delegates want from the people that represent students to the outside world.
Today was a more easy going day, with only
three elections; for the Block of 15 (the people who make up the National
Executive Committee), the new Democratic Procedures Committee (those who make
sure the conference is fair and democratic), as well as the new Student
Trustees (those who ensure the NUS is compliant in all its responsibilities to
Student Unions and the Government as an organisation). Results of these elections will be posted at
a later date, as the counting is still ongoing
and should be available by Monday.
After the elections NUS National President,
Toni Pearce, gave a speech that highlighted all of the amazing and valuable
work done these past days, and to bring the union forward into the next year
with a focus on the needs of the students it serves.
So until the results are released, it is a
goodbye to the conference and a return to my home and my dear bed where I will
be spending the next day sleeping off three wonderful days in Liverpool.
