Who's who in AESOP?

Executive Committee (ExCo)

The Executive Committee operates with delegated powers on behalf of the Council and is subject to its authority. The Committee meets quarterly to secure the aims of the AESOP Charter and to implement the policies of AESOP as expressed in the General Assembly or by the Council of Representatives. These office-bearers usually hold office for a period of two years, starting from the time of the Annual Congress. The exceptions relate to Past Presidents, who hold an honorary position for five years, and the Senior Vice President who is elected for one year. The day-to-day administrative affairs of AESOP are handled by the Secretary General and monetary transactions by the Treasurer.

CoRep 2008-2010 National representatives

The main policy and decision making body in AESOP is the Council of Representatives. The Council has at the moment 45 members and meets twice a year. One meeting takes place during the annual congress and the other in spring. The Council of Representatives also elects the office-bearers who form the Executive Committee of AESOP. The Council is a vital ressource for AESOP, where support has often been seeked – and found – for various activities. Finally, it is a main contact chanel with our members: do not hesitate to contact your national representative if you have any questions.
