If you answered yes to any of the questions above, apply for the Student Union’s Executive Board for the year 2021!
The Executive Board for the year 2021 is selected at the Student Union Representative Council’s meeting on 10.12.2020.
In case you are interested in being a part of the Board, please express your willingness of becoming a board member by sending a motivation letter to the tiedotus(at)isyy.fi and hakemukset(at)isyy.fi no later than on 22.11.2020. Also include a short introduction of yourself and your resume. Both will be published on the Student Union’s web pages for the decision makers and other students to view. By sending an application you accept that it will be published on Student Union’s website. Applications will be removed from the website on 11.12.2020.
According to Student Union’s rules, you can run for the Executive Board also in the Representative Council Meeting on 10th of December.
Information of the interested candidates so far (in Finnish or in English) can be found on ISYY’s website under section Make an Impact > Become an Executive Board Member.
The applicants will also have a chance to participate in a panel discussion on 30.11.2020. The public is welcomed to follow the panel discussion via live stream!
The Representative Council elects the Board’s Chairperson, Vice Chair and 4-8 members annually. The Board is the executive body of the Student Union. It implements the decisions of the Representative Council, represents the Student Union and monitors the economy of the Student Union together with the Secretary General and the Committee for Economic Affairs.
The Board works in close cooperation with the Student Union's committees and sections. Members of the Student Union can influence the Board’s statements and comments, and have their opinions heard in the Board through the committees and sections.
During the year, the Board members have meetings regularly, travel around Finland cooperating with other Student Unions as well as represent the Student Union in different events, meetings and committees. The Board members also receive a compensation for their commission of trust.
Each member of the Executive Board has a specific area of responsibility e.g. affairs of social policy, communications, academic affairs or international affairs.
The Council of Representative elects the Board for a one-year term at the end of each year.
All eligible members of the Student Union can stand as candidates for the Board. All elected Board members are expected to attend the orientation on 16.–18.12.2020.
If you’re still wondering which sector could be your thing, please follow ISYY’s Instagram (@isyyuef) for the next few weeks. Board members tell their own sectors until the end of the application period!
