The Rensselaer Union Executive Board, also known as the Executive Board, E-Board, or the Board, is the primary executive and budgetary body of the Rensselaer Union. It oversees the Union's facilities, hiring, and business affairs, as well as determining the Union's annual budget. It also maintains the relationship between the Union and the numerous clubs with Union affiliation or recognition. Alongside the Student Senate, it is considered one of the Union bodies most directly involved in the governance of the Union. The Director of the Union advises the Executive Board.

Membership

Voting

Voting members of the Executive Board are responsible for attending two Executive Board committees or chairing one. Each voting member is also assigned several clubs to represent. As a club representatives, voting members of the Board are expected to be in frequent communication with their clubs' officers and represent their interests in day-to-day Board operations and during yearly budgeting. Nonvoting members can also represent clubs, but must be confirmed by the Student Senate to do so (with the exception of the Vice President for Club Relations, who represents any unrepresented club by default).
