The Trustee board has overall responsibility for the legal, strategic and financial health of the Students’ Union, working closely with Senior Management to steer the decisions and activities of the Union.
What do trustees do?
The Trustee Board consists of four Sabbatical Officers, four students and three non-students appointed by the Trustees themselves.
Alongside being the Chair of the Executive and the line manager of the Chief Executive, the General Secretary is the Chair of the Trustee Board.
The three main roles of the Trustee Board are:
- To make sure everything we do benefits the students of LSE
- To ensure that the Union is financially solvent
- To ensure that everything we do is legally permissible
