EAA BOARDS AND COMMITTEES

The EAA is a fully democratic body which consists of various boards and committees whose members are chosen through an annual election process. The activities of the Association are co-ordinated through these groups together with a full-time Secretariat.

The EAA EXECUTIVE BOARD consists of three or four Officers (President, Incoming President, Treasurer, and Secretary) and six Ordinary Members, all of whom are elected by the membership. Additionally, the Board elects a Vice-President from its voting membership, who then also serves as an Officer and who remains in the position until the end of his/her elected mandate. The Vice-President can be re-elected to a second term. Each term on the Executive Board is for a three year period. One Officer and two Ordinary Members retire from the Executive Board each year at the Annual Membership Business Meeting. No member of the Executive Board can serve for more than two consecutive terms. The Executive Board can also make up to three co-options each year either to fill the places of elected members who are unable to fulfil their duties or who can specifically assist their work in some way.
Members are welcome to review the minutes of the Executive Board meetings.

Members can approach the EAA Executive Board members and the Statutory Committees via their dedicated @e-a-a.org email addresses below. General policy queries and concerns should be addressed to ExBoard@e-a-a.org (forwarded to all Executive Board elected and co-opted members). The Executive Board will discuss the matter internally and may seek advice from EAA Advisory Committees or other EAA constituents as relevant. Therefore, with respect to the internal democratic procedures, consultancy and the voluntary basis of Executive Board members’ work for the EAA, the response of the Executive Board is within the range of days in very urgent matters, and within the range of weeks in more complex matters.

The EAA Secretariat is closed for major bank holidays (Christmas, Easter) and in the week following the Annual Meeting; in these cases, an auto-responder is in place. The Secretariat follows the Czech calendar of one-day bank holidays; for these, no auto-responder is in place.
