Advance HE’s Governance Development Manager Dan Tinkler hosted a one-off special podcast focusing on the lessons that can be learned from Students’ Union governance.
Dan was joined by Nick Smith, an Advance HE associate with over 15 years’ experience in Students’ Union governance whilst currently being a secretary to five Students’ Union boards, and by Victoria Aurora Bennett-Salvador, the current President and Chair of the Trustee Board at Birmingham City University Students’ Union. Together they explore what makes Students' Union governance so unique, how to engage student governors based on what works in students’ unions, achieving a positive board culture, supporting a diverse governing body and embedding inclusivity practices, and other lessons that higher education institutions, universities, colleges, and small and specialist institutions can learn from the world of Students' Union governance.
