The Board hires an Executive Director, Legislative Director, Assistant Legislative Director and legislative assistants to help operate the organization an implement there legislative agenda. MEMBER INSTITUTIONS
RELATIONS WITH NON-MU STUDENTS In 2001 a group of Missouri students formed the Student Association Of Missouri which sought to unite all students in Missouri in a common voice to lobby the state government. ASUM maintained it's mission to represent only MU system students and did not recognized SAM as a uniting force. Although officially SAM maintained a position of cooperation with ASUM the two organizations rarely collaborated and were considered more adversarial. Much of this may have been due to that fact that most of the students behind the formation of SAM were from Truman State University which maintained the second largest delegation of legislative interns, next to the MU-system, in the Missouri General Assembly and ASUM perceived SAM as Truman's own student lobbying arm despite SAM's stated mission. With the 2005 dissolution of SAM, ASUM is again the only student organized lobbying organization in Missouri. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
