What is it? 

An Open Meeting is a meeting of all the Network Members. Its purpose is to discuss issues that students of that Network may be facing, and where appropriate approve policy to be taken to Student Council on behalf of the Network.

 

When should we hold open Meetings?

Your Network will need to hold two Open Meetings a year, one in Semester 1 and one in Semester 2.

 

How do we plan an open meeting?

Below is the SU recommended order to hold an open meeting. If you wish to do it in a different order, then please do so, this is just a guideline.
