Everyday work of the Board
The Board members manage the student union’s day-to-day activities with the student union’s specialists from TREY’s office in Hervanta. In addition to managing the day-to-day work and activities of the responsibility sectors, the Board carries out long-term student advocacy, represents the Student Union and is responsible for implementing the Action Plan.
Each member of the Executive Board is responsible for activities in one or more sectors. There are several sectors in the Student Union, including academic affairs, social welfare affairs, international affairs, organisational affairs, events, sports, corporate cooperation, development cooperation, environmental affairs, communication as well as municipal politics. The Board members work in collaboration with the Student Union’s Specialists. Despite the sector division, the members of the Executive Board work closely with each other and develop the Student Union.
In addition to the day-to-day activities and leading their respective sectors, the executive board deals with the supervision of interests in the long term, and activities and is in charge of executing the plan of action.
Working in the Board
TREY’s Executive Board is a working board, which means it is full-time work (30-35 hours weekly) with a year-round compensation, which was 1200 €/month for Board members and 1500 €/month for the Chair in year 2025. Members of the Board are also offered certain benefits, for example the Nysse annual card. Being on the Board means that, in principle, you are available for board activities and sector work during weekdays and during office hours (Mon-Fri 9 AM – 4 PM) and sometimes in the evenings, for example in events. When applying, it is worth noting that completing compulsory studies at the same time as being in the Board is challenging in terms of schedules and workload. The Board is chosen for one calendar year, but the orientation for next year’s tasks begins this year.
A student who uses English as their working language can also serve on the Board. At the moment, the everyday rhythm and decision-making of TREY’s office is arranged only in Finnish, but we will together develop a bilingual office if a student using English as a working language would be elected to the Board. Unfortunately, it is not possible for a person who uses English as their working language to work in all sectors, such as as being the Chair, or working with the national educational affairs or communications, as the key functions of these sectors require Finnish language skills.
The composition of the Board
The Executive Board is composed of the Chairperson and a 5-11 other members. The Council determines the size of the Board annually when choosing the Board. During the year 2025, the size of the Board is the Chair and eight (8) Board members.
