Council

Tamko’s Council (edustajisto in Finnish) is the supreme decision-making authority. One might compare it to Finnish Parliament. The Council has 21 members which are elected through Council elections every autumn by Tamko members. Tamko members who have paid the Students’ Union membership and are enrolled as present for autumn semester are eligible to stand as a candidate and to vote in Council elections. The Council’s official language is Finnish, but the Council works in both Finnish and English.

The tasks of the Council include:

  • electing Council Chairpersons and Tamko Board members
  • approving budget and plan of action for the upcoming year
  • defining political lines
  • supervising the Board’s work
  • deciding on Student Union rules, membership payment and the biggest acquisitions and reforms.

In the Council you can get involved in Tamko’s activities, whether you are interested in influencing, organizing events or improving the students’ life.
