Board

The Association is administared by the Board of Directors consisting of between ten and thirty directors. The directors are elected by the General Assembly for a term of three years with the right to be re-elected. The Chairman of the Board is the President of the Association. Directors can be dismissed by the annual or Extraordinary General Assembly upon decision by a two-third majority of the members present or represented. The Association’s former Presidents have the right to attend the meetings of the Board of Directors in a consultative capacity like the observers and invited guests, unless they exercise a director’s mandate.

The Board of Directors has the most extensive powers to act on behalf of the Association and to do or accomplish all acts which support the activities of the Association or which are necessary or useful for the achievement of its purpose, subject to the attributions of the General Meeting. In particular, the Board of Directors has the power of accepting admission of new Members of the Association. The Board of Directors can delegate the day-to-day management and/or certain specific missions to the Management Committee. The Board meets with the occasion of the AEA-EAL events like congresses or seminars; usually once a month a teleconference of the Board of Directors is taking place, decisions may be also taken with the written procedure.
