• Choose your Executive. An executive team is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the club and providing club direction to the membership. Note: at least 50% of your executive members MUST be current UNBC undergraduate students, and all executive members must be current UNBC students.

  • NUGSS has put together a guide book for clubs to help answer many of your general questions around what roles and responsibilities the Executive positions may have.
