Executive Meetings
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OFFICERS & ROLES
The executive committee of the Yate & Sodbury District u3a consists of up to twelve members each nominated member serving up to three years. When the number of nominated members is less than twelve, other members may be co-opted onto the committee for a year.
All committee members including those who are co-opted are automatically trustees. Trustees are responsible for the general control and management of their u3a and must carry out their duties within the context of the constitution.
Ideally each member of the committee should have a designated office and/or role, sometimes a newer committee member acting as an assistant initially.
Some roles can be shared by two committee members.
Certain roles may be held by non-committee members of the u3a, these members would then be invited to report to committee meetings but not have a vote on decisions made by the committee.
