ABSLTA Governance
The governance of ABSLTA is overseen by the Executive Committee, ensuring transparency and accountability in all activities.
Our key governance activities include:
- Business Plan Oversight: The Executive Committee is responsible for developing, reviewing, and updating the Business Plan every three years. This plan is assessed annually to ensure it aligns with our goals and adapts to our progress and challenges.
- Constitution Review: Our constitution is reviewed every three years. Proposed amendments are discussed and voted on during the Annual General Meeting (AGM) or an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM).
- Member Well-being and Conduct: We are committed to the well-being of our members. The Executive Committee addresses any incidents of bullying, intimidation, or safeguarding breaches. Serious breaches can result in warnings, sanctions, or termination of membership if necessary.
- Annual Reporting: At the AGM, the Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer present reports detailing the year’s activities, financial performance, and overall progress of ABSLTA.
- Transparency and Accountability: We ensure transparency in our decision-making processes and are committed to accountability to our members and stakeholders.
- Conflict Resolution: The Executive Committee has procedures in place to resolve conflicts within the committee and among members, maintaining a supportive and constructive environment.
