Directly subordinate to the Örebro student union (ÖS) general council is the union board - Örebro student union's highest executive body.

The union board consists of the ÖS chairman, the ÖS three vice-chairmen and a member from each section (usually the section's chairman or vice-chairman). The board's main tasks can be summed up as implementing the council's decisions and managing the organization.

The union board is responsible for a large part of the Örebro student union's political work towards the university, municipality, region and business.
The political issues often concern the overall student population, while the boards of the union sections pursue issues with a closer connection to the students of their institution.
