Governance Framework
Every decision is made within a clear framework that protects members and safeguards the Association's reputation.
EXCO Accountability
All sub-committees report directly to the Executive Committee — no committee operates independently.
President's Role
The President participates in all committees as Ex-Officio but holds no voting rights — ensuring balanced governance.
Financial Control
No committee may collect or commit funds without prior written EXCO approval. Zero cash-handling policy.
Terms of Reference
All committees operate strictly within approved ToR — no scope creep, no individual agendas.
