Student Governing Board

The Student Governing Board (SGB) is collectively the highest decision-making body of the organization, comprised of students elected or appointed by and from the membership.

The SGB consists of 14 elected and appointed positions, each with a single vote, as well as 3 ex-officio members who do not have a vote: the Board Speaker, the Representation Executive Council (REC) President and the SAMRU Executive Director. The REC and the Executive Director advise the board in the areas of representation (REC) and operations and finance (Executive Director).

The SGB hires four students in a full-time capacity to represent and advocate on behalf of all students, and an Executive Director who hires and oversees staff to run the operations of the Students' Association (member services, administration, communications, finance, the student centre).
