Democratic Structure
NUS Scotland policy is set by the 13-member Scottish Executive Council (SEC), which meets monthly.
The NUS Scotland President, VP (Education), VP (Community), two Priority, Education and Community Campaign Conveners, the Mature Students' Officer and Postgraduate Students' Officer are elected each year at NUS Scotland Conference, which is usually held in March, by representatives from member students’ associations. All elected officers hold the post from 1 July to 30 June.
Liberation Officers (Women's Officer, Black Students' Officer, LGBT Students' Officer, Disabled Students' Officer) are each elected at their own conferences, held between the NUS Scotland Conference and the end of June.
Elected officers can hold each post for a maximum of two years.

Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or structure:
“You see few people here in America who really care very much about living a Christian life in a democratic world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
