Changes to our Executive Committee

Following the Students’ Union elections, Rob Pinfold resigned as Vice-Chair of Manchester Labour Students so he can fully concentrate on changing UMSU in his full-time newly elected role as General Secretary in the next academic year. I’m sure everyone on the Executive will join me in thanking Rob for all he has done on the Exec and wish him the very best as General Secretary.

In addition, Alex James resigned as Chair of Manchester Labour Students to allow him more time when he takes up his post as Humanities Faculty Officer on the UMSU Executive next year. He isn’t leaving our Exec however as in a special meeting of the club he was elected Vice-Chair.

Mike Joslin, who had done a fantastic job as Campaigns Officer, culminating with the electoral success of Rob and many others within UMSU, was elected the new Chair of Manchester Labour Students. Mike is renowned as someone with ardent dedication to what he believes in but perhaps best known for his amazing ability to have his bikes stolen.

Richard Neudegg, who was on the Block of 3 on the Executive, was elected as the new Campaigns Officer.

The current Executive’s term lasts until the club’s Annual General Meeting in November/December 2008. You can see our full Executive on our website.
