The National Executive Committee (NEC)

The SNU's National Executive Committee is responsible for coordinating the function of the SNU, putting into operation policies and procedures, and for monitoring the performance of all areas of the SNU. The NEC meets seven times per year.

The NEC consists of the four SNU Officers, two chairmen of Standing Committees, a representative of the Council, and there may be up to three Ordinary Members. Members of the NEC are unpaid volunteers and registered with the UK authorities as Directors of the Company.

The President and Vice-Presidents are directly elected in alternate years, holding office for two years, from among nominated Class B members. Every Class B member and affiliated Church has a vote and the candidate with the highest number of votes is elected. The Financial Director is appointed by the President and Vice-Presidents.
