The AStA Board consists of four members: the chairperson, the finance referee, and the two campus representatives. All members of the AStA Board are elected by the Student Parliament for a term of one year and together they coordinate the AStA affairs, help manage the projects carried out and support and supervise the AStA departments.

The Chairperson of AStA is the head of the executive of the student body, representing all students internally and externally.

In AStA, the chairperson is part of the board, which she/he supervises and coordinates. Because she/he is legally liable for decisions taken, the chairperson needs to be informed about German laws, university regulations and how they influence the activities of AStA.

Duties and tasks of the chairperson include representing AStA and the students in front of the university and its presidency, at the meetings of the university senate, towards the cities of Kleve, Kamp-Lintfort and its citizens, and other external actors like the Fördervereine (support associations) and the media.

Internally, the chairperson is present in meetings of the Student Parliament, regular AStA meetings and the conference of all FSRs and AStA.

The Campus Representatives of Kamp-Lintfort and Kleve are both a member of the AStA Board and are the direct representative of their campus and the respective AStA departments. By supervising, supporting and communicating between the departments, the Campus Representative strengthens the teamwork and facilitates internal cohesion. 

The Campus Representatives work closely with the university administration to provide rooms to FSRs and university groups for their events and activities. They attend the external and internal meetings of the AStA such as the Student Parliament, the university senate, and the conference of all FSRs and AStA.

Furthermore, in their function as Vice-Chairs, they support the Chairperson and serve as a substitute for her/him.

The Finance Referee is entrusted with the management of the Student’s Body Finances. As such, she or he designs and oversees the budget of the Student Body. The Finance Referee is also tasked with the review, approval, and control of the finance requests of all the AStA departments. Furthermore, she or he also manages the faculties’ spending, so long as they do not establish a system, in accordance with the HVWO, that allows them to be financially independent. As a member of the board, the Finance Referee is expected to attend and contribute to matters concerning the AStA Board.
