Alright, so here's the deal. There's a lot of different groups in the EUS. Navigating the entire map will take some time, but this page is intended to help make it a little bit easier. I'll be doing a breakdown section by section of how these groups interact with a brief overview of what their purpose is.
Executives
These are the head honchos running the show on the day to day. Elected by the constituents (with the exception of the VP Finance, who is selcomm'd),executives oversee a majority of EUS committees, funds, and overall operations. Their purpose is to hold committees accountable, to liaise with the various external parties relevant to the respective portfolios, and to keep the ship afloat.
The EUS Executive Committee holds the power to:
- Approve new clubs
- Organize and initiate EUS Council meetings
- Hold power of EUS Council over the summer (End of Winter Semester -> Beginning of Fall Semester)
- Ratify large purchases with the EUS Credit Card
Each exec's individual responsibilities vary, and are outlined briefly in the EUS Constitution.
Executives are to be held accountable by the Board of Governors, General Assembly, and EUS Council; all of whom may assign additional mandates or reverse decisions made by the Executive Committee.
EUS Council
EUS Council is a forum for discussing matters pertaining to the EUS and assigning action accordingly. All relevant parties across the EUS are represented at council, empowered to voice their respective constituents' interests & inclinations.
Council is responsible for enacting tangible improvements to the regular members of the EUS, holding SSMU Reps/Eng Senator/Execs accountable, enacting Policies&Resolutions to be carried out, and creating any various Committees to further attain a better society.
EUS Council is adjacent in responsibility to the Board of Governors, who's role is more administrative and legal in nature. EUS Council is held responsible by General Assembly exclusively.
Board of Governors
Created by the Winter 2017 Referendum, the Board of Governors is a new entity dedicated to the overarching administrative aspects of the EUS. The Board of Governors is responsible for:
- Overseeing EUS [[Committees] with budgets greater than $50,000, as well as Service Committees
- Maintain the long-term (i.e. greater than 1 year) vision of the EUS
- Upholding & maintaining governing documents (policies, bylaws, constitution, & contracts)
- Maintain financial authority over matters outlined in the Financial Bylaws
The Board of Governors can overturn decisions made by the Executives, and is held accountable by a General Assembly. The Board of Governor's role can only be amended with ratification by the EUS Council.
