The 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) of our UCU branch will take place online via Teams  on Tuesday 22nd July  at 12 noon. Members should have received an email with the details (if you have not received this, contact us: ucu@roehampton.ac.uk).

This is your union, and we need your help in strengthening our branch at this challenging time. All branch officer posts, and departmental rep posts are up for election every year; the nomination form has been sent to all members by email. We need both branch officials and  departmental reps – so even if you can’t commit the time required of a branch officer, you can still play an important role in connecting your department to UCU. Any member of our branch can stand for any of the officer or rep posts. Please contact us for more information, or see here for details of each role. Completed nomination forms need to be sent to our Returning Officer, John Rae.

Please keep in mind:

• If you want to stand for election as a branch officer, you need to apply for a specific role. Do read the description of roles (details here).
• You need a current member of the branch to support your nomination.
• Workload allowance is given for each role in the Committee.
• Training is available, so don’t worry if you feel you don’t have much union experience.
• Sharing a role with another member (job share) is possible (please indicate who you might share with, if known).

It is vital that our members attend the AGM and vote for the new branch officers and departmental reps. Together we can improve working conditions at Roehampton!
