Trustee Board

Trustee Board

As a charitable organisation, MDXSU has a Trustee Board which oversees our work and ensures that the Students' Union is well run, meeting its aims and working within the legal and constitutional framework laid down. Trustees are not involved in the day to day affairs, but take an overview of how the Union is performing, both financially and as a representative body for Middlesex students.

Board of Trustees

Trustees are responsible for making sure that Union decisions are made in the best interest of the Union and its members. They also set the long-term plans and direction of the Union, making sure the Union uses its financial resources properly and that it is financially viable. They ensure the Union works within the law and constitution.

The Board of Trustees is made up of the following:
