We will soon be holding our annual referendum on our affiliation to NUS UK, which is written into our Standing Orders to occur each year during the elections period. We are looking for a campaign lead for both sides of the debate, as well as members of the campaign teams.
We will soon be holding our annual referendum on our affiliation to NUS UK, which is written into our Standing Orders to occur each year during the elections period. We are looking for a campaign lead for both sides of the debate, as well as members of the campaign teams. This would involve leading the campaign, getting a team together, and getting out and about to campaign during the voting period to encourage students to vote in the referendum.
We believe that it is important to hear both sides of the argument, so we are requesting that anyone with an interest in being on a campaign team for either side of the debate gets in touch via elections@derbyunion.co.uk by 4.00pm on Monday 5th February. You will receive full support from the Union with campaigning and ideas.
