NERFU operations are conducted primarily by a group of dedicated volunteers. Union members elect individuals to serve on an Executive Committee and a Management Committee. Combined, they’re often referred to as the NERFU Board or E-Board.
The Executive Committee constitutes the organization’s legal Board of Directors and is responsible for the governance of the union in accordance with policies and procedures as outlined in NERFU’s By-Laws, Handbook, and as directed by the Union at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The Management Committee is composed of various directors who represent the interests of union members and liaise between them to help facilitate union competition.
