Council of Representatives

The Council of Representatives is the highest decision-making body in the student union. The 49 members of the council are elected every two years in the representative elections. The Council of Representatives appoints the student union’s Executive Board and decides on TREY’s policy outlines, such as strategy, budget and plan of action. All TREY’s members have the right to be present in the council meetings. In the elections, every student union member enrolled as present has the right to vote and stand for election. In addition, student union members have the right to make initiatives to the Council of Representatives or the Executive Board. The latest election result can be found on the Steering documents -page.

The chair of the Council of Representatives for 2024 is Onni Härkönen (Vihreä lista), the first vice chair is Alisa Hakkarainen (Kontakti) and the second vice chair is Arttu Timonen (Kontakti).

The council usually meets once a month, typically in a lecture room at one of the university campuses. The council contains several council groups, and discussions at the meetings are lively. The meetings usually start at 16.15 and the place of each meeting is announced in the notice of meeting.

Information about upcoming meetings will be on TREY’s event calendar on our website.

The meetings are also streamed for remote viewing on the student union’s YouTube account.
