The highest power at KY is held by the Representative Council, which decides what KY does and looks like now and in the future. The meeting minutes can be found below.
The council consists of 21 members and 34 deputy members. The KY Representative Council elections are organized in the fall of each odd-numbered year. The candidates are ranked in order of the number of votes each of them received. The terms of each Representative Council start in December of each odd-numbered year and ends in December two years later, after the next RepCo has been elected.
KY's Executive Board is the body that holds the executive power over KY's everyday actions. The Board is supervised by and works under the mandate of the Representative Council.

While the mission in our strategy explains why KY exists, the vision of KY's strategy shows us direction towards the desired future.
Both the mission and the vision of KY are based on our three values: Community, Open-minded and Member-Driven. Furthermore, as the values should be both valuable and visible in all our actions, three more concrete KY Ways of Working have been created to ensure that this is the case. These three most important ways of working to trickle through the KY community are:
We would like to warmly thank everyone who contributed to the strategy update process!
