U3a Dacorum<\/strong> is a trust run by a dedicated Board of Trustees<\/strong>. To keep things running smoothly, we have a few key policies in place. These help guide our trustees, coordinators, and members<\/strong>, and make sure we can handle any issues fairly and sensibly if they arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the top of our framework is our Constitution<\/strong>, which sets out how U3A Dacorum is organised and governed. Supporting this are our Committee Handbook<\/strong> and Coordinator Handbook<\/strong>, which offer practical guidance for the people who help make our activities and groups happen every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together, these documents help us stay organised, transparent, and focused on what matters most \u2014 sharing learning, friendship, and fun across our community<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We adopted a new constitution in 2021. 2021 Constitution<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n We have a Committee Handbook that describes the major roles on the committee. 2022 Committee Handbook<\/a> This is subject to continuous change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Coordinator Handbook has been recently revised.
