Navigate within The JCR > Officers

JCR officers are responsible for the day to day running of the JCR. They are elected at the end of Michaelmas Term, and serve for 3 terms. Each position is either a committee or non-committee post. The committee holds meetings weekly on Mondays at 1:00pm, with the minutes published in the JCR and a summary sent round the maillists. All committee members produce an officers report weekly, which are sent round the maillists or put on the JCR noticeboard for every GM. Non-committee positions produce a termly officers report.
