Society Elections

What are the Society Elections?

The society elections are your chance to have your say! Every year, members have the chance to elect their Board of Directors and Member Engagement Committee representatives. You can even stand for election yourself, if you’d like to. 

Board & MEC Elections 2023

The Society's annual election process is now concluded. 

Results were announced to members at the Half Year meeting on 18 October. You can find a copy below under 'Election Results'.   

The co-operative ideal is based on members having the chance to vote so that everyone will feel heard, valued and appreciated. The Society elections are a way of putting this into action; as a co-operative, we are committed to giving our members the power to make decisions – big and small.

If you’d like to stand for election, click here to find out everything you need to know. You’ll find a summary of the role of a director within the Society and the qualification criteria you need to meet.
