Community holds a conference every two years where delegates from every region and industry meet to discuss the unions role in protecting the rights of members and preparing for the future.
Community is governed by the National Executive Council (NEC). The NEC meets quarterly to discuss the state of the union and plan for the future.
The day to day business of the union is controlled by the General Secretary and the management board. For more on the NEC, Management Board or General Secretary, please see Who’s Who on the left hand side bar.
