About the Exec

The CUSU LGBT Exec are elected on a yearly basis, and have specific responsibilities. For more information on the duties for each post, and to find out more about the current holder, click on one of the links above.

College LGBT Reps

Our network of Reps aren’t part of the Exec, but they are an essential part of the CUSU LGBT Campaign. Here’s the college reps list.

Getting involved

CUSU LGBT is a great organisation to get involved in, there is a lot going on from socials to campaigns. You’re welcome to help out organising socials or suggesting and helping with campaigns without holding a position. But if you’re keen to be involved in CUSU LGBT you might want to stand for an exec position. This allows you to be involved in running and shaping CUSU LGBT as well as looking great on a CV.

The exec meets once a week during term time, generally early on Sunday evenings and the range of positions available means you have lots of choice as to how to get involved. You can see the list of #available positions# and contact the chair if you are interested. Depending on the time of year you will either stand for election in an open meeting or can be coopted to vacant positions by either the exec or an open meeting.
