NUS National Conference 2014 Day 3

courtesy of the National Union of Students
  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.
