ESU President Update

The ESU Committee has been extremely busy over the last few months continuing to review and work on some proposed changes to our structure. We take our role seriously and consider ourselves guardians of the ESU for the next generation of members.

Over time, we have seen increasing complexity in the management of the ESU due to a number of factors including increased data risk in managing the member data base, increased administration tasks for the committee along with increased compliance costs, complexity and time, precarity of funding, legislative considerations and difficulty in recruiting volunteers for the Committee. To address these concerns, we have been exploring alternative structures for the Committee that will establish a more modern and manageable structure.

To date we have collaborated extensively with the College, sought independent legal advice and run a number of consultation sessions with interested ESU members. We intend to hold further sessions in the coming months. Look out for notification of these. We will be running both online and in-person sessions to accommodate our member base.

We are looking forward to the Alumni Networking Event in May and our traditional Commemoration Day service on Sunday 27 July.
