This week on the Membership Services Show Liv and Alan kick off officer-induction season with Mack, exploring how the Summer Training Programme helps new sabbatical officers get to grips with their union’s policy environment and institutional context.

They also talk to Gary Hughes of Durham SU about building an ethical framework for officer support, and answer a question from Ryan at Keele SU on whether tighter university finances could make students’ union mergers more likely. Plus – why first-time presenters matter, and a heads-up that Membership Services Conference tickets are down to the last few dozen.

With Mack Marshall, Community and Policy Officer, Wonkhe SUs, Gary Hughes, Chief Executive, Durham Students’ Union and hosted by Livia Scott (Partnerships Coordinator, Wonkhe) and Alan Roberts (Director, Counterculture).
