The Three Tier System

The First Tier:

 

  • The National Executive Committee (NEC) - the Directors of the SNU who are 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.
  •  

  • Standing Committees - chaired by Directors of the SNU who organise and carry out work in specific areas through the activities of some of the sub-committees, along with chairpersons with direct responsibility for those sub-committees.
  •  

  • Sub-Committees - chaired by appointees who are designated by the NEC to share in its workload and be responsible for carrying out the duties and functions assigned to them. Sub-committees not under the direction of a Standing Committee chairperson include representative members of the NEC.
 

 

The Second Tier:

 

  • The SNU Council - which acts as an advisory body to the NEC. It consists of the 4 Officers of the Union, 14 District Council Representatives elected by and from the individual membership of each district council, Branch representatives appointed by the Spiritualists' Lyceum Union and SNU International and a members representative elected by and from the national SNU Individual Membership.
    The SNU District Councils annually elects one of the Council Representatives to represent them as a member on the NEC.
 

 

The Third Tier:

 

  • The 14 District Councils - consisting of all the Individual SNU Members and member Churches/Centres or organisations in each region.

     

  • DC Executive Committees - each District Council (DC) annually nominates and elects this committee from their local Individual membership. This team is there to support the NEC in its work within the districts and represent the districts members and churches/centres through their SNU Council Representatives.
