The annual OUSA Conference will be held at Warwick University over the weekend of 13-15 April 2007. This is the governing body of our Association and determines what we do, and to some extent, what we say thoughout the year.
It is here that delegates from branches, regional forums, the disabled students group and the OU societies come together to judge the stewardship of the Executive Committee over the previous year and to set the scene for the next. It is a mixture of business and social and a chance to meet all sorts of members that you may well have met already, virtually, on the First Class forums and conferences.
It is now too late for motions to be submitted, as the closing date was the 2nd February, but all units have the right to submit amendments. When your unit receives a copy of the preliminary order paper and you see a motion that you think needs amending - then following the discussion in your unit (branch, regional forum etc.) then submit the amendment on the appropriate forms and send them to the OUSA Office before the close on March 9th (see forms sent to you for the precise time of deadline).
Your unit delegates need to be provisionally registered also by March 9th; if your unit wants a say, then make sure that a delegate comes along.
I look forward to meeting you at Warwick.
Regards
John
