Ability Heroes LTD - Organisational Structure
A Board of up to seven Directors is responsible for the Governance of the Organisation. Directors are elected for a three-year term and can stand for re-election.
The Board elects the Chairperson and office bearers (Secretary, Treasurer). They are to be suitably qualified, with at least half having impairment experience. After the first year of operation, the Directors retire and can stand for re-election by the membership at or before the Annual General Meeting; within six months after the first year of operation. After that, they can stand for re-election by the membership to a further three-year term. Thus, two Directors are elected for three years, two Directors are elected for two years, and two Directors are elected for one year. In addition, each Director can nominate for re-election to complete three consecutive three-year terms. A Director who has held office for a continuous period of nine years can only renominate after a three-year break. Only a majority vote of members at the Annual General Meeting can rescind the rule.
The Board elects the Chairperson and office bearers (Secretary, Treasurer).
