NATFHE : Structure

            NATFHE's democratic structure puts members in the driving seat, setting their union's policies and priorities, and deciding the tactics NATFHE uses to achieve them.

Branch officers are a source of information and advice. The branch is the place in which members can raise their concerns and ideas.

The union has 14 regions: Anglia; East Midlands; Inner London; Northern; Northern Ireland; North West; Outer London; South East; South West; Southern; Wales; Western; West Midlands; and Yorkshire & Humberside. Each has a Regional Council, to which branches send representatives. These elect delegates to the National Conference and to the Further Education and Higher Education Sector Conferences (all normally held once a year), and to the FE, HE and equal opportunities advisory councils. You can find a report of NATFHE's  National Conference and FE/HE Sector Conferences.

The National Executive Council is elected by individual members. The NEC conducts the union's general business between national conferences. It is made up of the president, vice-president, and treasurer, ex president, FE and HE regional seats, two black representatives, one lesbian and gay men representative, one disabled representative and the general secretary. At least 25% of the NEC must be women.
