Executive Committee

The Executive Committee is made up of between 10 and 15 members, who can sit on the Committee for a maximum of two years. It holds an annual general meeting (AGM) every year to which all UWN members are invited, and at which elections to the Committee take place. If you’re interested in joining the next Executive Committee, please express your interest here. 

The Committee meets about every six weeks, and conducts much of its work through three sub-committees:

  • Membership and communications
