A national conference, which doubles as an annual general meeting, is held once a year in a different city. Each region holds two conferences a year as well. Each member paper exercises one vote at conferences. The president and national bureau chief are elected at the national conference, or Nash, while the regional CUPboard members and bureau chiefs are elected at the regional conferences. CUP is divided into five regions: WRCUP (Western, including British Columbia and Yukon ), PNCUP ( Prairies and Northern, including Alberta , Manitoba , Northwest Territories , Nunavut and Saskatchewan ), ORCUP ( Ontario ), CUPbeq ( Québec ) and ARCUP ( Atlantic , including New Brunswick , Newfoundland And Labrador , Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island ). It also has five special issues caucuses to promote diversity, address the under-representation of marginalized groups and encourage discussion of social issues: Colour Caucus; Disabilities Caucus; Francophone Caucus; Queer, Trans and Allies Caucus; and Women's Caucus. Member papers contribute articles to the CUP wire, which also runs stories authored by CUP staff. There are News , features, opinions, arts, sports, graphics and supplements wires. After stories are edited by the national bureau chief, they are made available on the wire for publication in CUP member papers. CUP wholly owns a multi-market ad placement agency, Canadian University Press Media Services Limited, which operates as Campus Plus, offering advertisers one-stop access to student newspapers. It's also the sole member of the John H. McDonald Journalism Foundation, named after CUP's first president.
