Congress

National Congress and Sector Conferences are the supreme policy making bodies of the Union. National Congress and Sector Conferences have annual meetings, which meet in the same time period, between 15 March and 15 June each year. The number of delegates each branch can send is determined by rule 17.2 of the National UCU Rulebook. It is currently one for every 400 members.
