About the Conference

Representation on NUS Conference delegations is a motion that was passed at National Conference 2014, changing NUS’ rules on the make-up of delegations to National Conference. The motion means that all delegations have to have at least 50% self-defining women on them (rounded down).

NUS National Conference will take place in spring 2018, where it will set policy for the NUS for the year ahead in each of its 5 zones and holds NUS elections.
