Organisational Structure.
The Federal Board consists of 1 elected member from each region. The Board sets direction and manages the Business of the Association. The Board manages Standing Committees/Special Interest Portfolios which each have a Co-ordinator (who should also be Federal Board Member). Members are called upon, or can volunteer, for various activities as part of these Standing Committees/Special Interest Portfolios.
The Regional Branches are all managed by Branch/Territory Councils. These Councils implement Federal directives and strategic plans as necessary and organise events for their local members. Attendance at events organised by Branch Councils offers the most direct way for members to become involved in the networking and educational opportunities offered by the Association.
Some of the Regional Branches have Chapters, which represent a specific industry sector within their geographical area. The Chapters are managed by Chapter Councils, who report to the relevant Branch Council. At present the Chapters in existence represent the interests of record keeping professionals working in various levels of government.
