UNEOAC operates as an affiliated club of SportUNE and as part of UNE Life clubs and societies. As such the roles and responsibilities of the executive positions in our club must meet the requirements of UNE Life.
There are three positions whose responsibilities are dictated by the UNE Life policy: President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Other positions are determined by the needs of the club and the interests of the volunteers. So our club often includes a range of other positions in order to support the wide range of duties in running the club successfully.
In general, the committee must stay in contact with the UNE Life Clubs Manager and remain transparent about our activities so we can ensure we are meeting our duties as an ambassador of UNE. Our club is also governed by the UNEOAC Constitution (2015).
