The National Union of Students is the national body that represents all students across the UK. Every year each union affiliated to the NUS (of which YUSU is one) sends a delegation to NUS National Conference, its highest decision-making body, where important national policy decisions are made and the NUS National Executive Committee are elected. The YUSU President leads this delegation and there are 4 elected delegates. NUS National Conference will be taking place in Liverpool between 8 and 10 April 2014.
