There are nine directors of UMSS Ltd, five who are nominated by the University (University Nominated Directors), three who are selected by UMSS members according to defined staff categories and one by UMSS pensioners (Member Nominated Directors or MNDs).
The current term of office for the Member Nominated Director for Technical and related staff, will end on 20 October 2013. Nominations are invited for this vacancy for a 3 year appointment.
