Structure

The Union of Students in Ireland consists of five bodies formed from both elected members to USI and members of the affiliated Student Unions.

Officer Board

Officer Board is a Standing Committee of National Council and is composed of the elected officers of the Union. The board provides day to day leadership to the Union, produces annual plans for, and co-ordinate the work of the Union.

National Council

National Council is USI's main executive body consisting of representatives from each college and USI full time and part time officers. It is convened at least four times a year for the purpose of discussing the overall work of the national union.

Regional Conferences

Regional Conferences are held for the main purpose of electing the regional officer for the region. The regions are autonomous and discuss and debate policy for the region to co-ordinate and direct the work of the officer.

Standing Conferences

There are three standing conferences held each year with the purpose of electing the part-time officers and to discuss and formulate policy for that brief. The four conferences are: the Irish language conference; the Equality Standing Conference; and the Environmental Awareness conference.

Annual Congress

Annual Congress is USI's supreme decision making body which takes place over a 3-4 day period around Easter. All affiliated unions send a number of delegates to attend Congress. The number of delegates each CO sends depends on the number of students at their college. All student unions can submit motions and amendments for Congress.

Congress debates and votes on the various issues and motions submitted by member colleges. It also elects Officer Board for the coming year.
