Each member president, including the Tumuaki of Te Mana Ākonga and National President of Tauira Pasifika, sit on the National Executive where they speak on behalf of the students at their campus. At each meeting, the National Executive, lead by the NZUSA National President, discuss relevant issues facing students as well as making high level governance decisions around the direction of the association.
