called representatives (edaattori in Finnish). The Representative Council holds the
highest decision-making power in the Student Union and guides the work of the
Student Union’s Board, which handles the daily operations of the organization. The
Representative Council meets three times a year in Helsinki, and additional meetings
are held online as needed.
The duties of the Representative Council include, among others:
- Electing members of the Board and student representatives
- Approving the guiding documents of the Student Union
- Deciding on the strategy and other policy documents of the Student Union
- Deciding on the membership fee of the Student Union
