The executive consists of officers (two co-convenors, a secretary, a treasurer, and education officer, an EDI officer and a communications officer), supported by an executive secretary.
The convenors of History UK represent the organisation and the interests of History in Higher Education through a range of activities. They liaise with sister organisations (the Royal Historical Society, the Institute for Historical Research, the Historical Association and the Higher Education Academy) on an ad hoc basis and through the regular meetings of the History Subject Association and the History Forum. They also contribute to campaigns on matters of interest to departments.
