The mission of the Association of Managers in Students' Unions (AMSU) is to enhance the management of UK students' unions.
AMSU publish a journal called Agenda which includes articles by and for students' union staff. AMSU organise seminars and conferences for students' union staff some of which are open to union officers. AMSU has over 150 member unions, including several larger unions such as the University of Nottingham Students' Union and University of Sheffield Union of Students. Unsurprisingly, AMSU enjoys a close relationship both with the National Union of Students and with NUS Services Ltd.
AMSU is managed by a co-ordinating committee which consists of a Chair, a Treasurer and three non-portfolio members.

“We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn’t always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
“The newly-formed clothing unions are ready to welcome her; but woman shrinks back from organization, Heaven knows why! It is perhaps because in organization one find the truest freedom, and woman has been a slave too long to know what freedom means.”
