Management bodies | Space Networks

SPACE consists of three Management Bodies:

1.) The General Assembly

The General Assembly comprises the representatives of the institutional and associate members. The General Assembly meets once a year at the Annual General Meeting. It is, amongst other things, responsible for the modification of the statutes, the admission and removal of members and the approval of accounts and budgets.

2.) The Council

The Council comprises the members of the Board, the Committee/ Section Chairs and one national representative from each member country. The Council meets at least once a year. It is, amongst other things, a forum for discussion of the Association’s strategic policy and a link between the national committees and the Board.

3.) The Board:

The Board comprises at least 5 members. The board meets minimum once a year, prior to the Annual General Meeting. The President and the Board are primarily responsible for ensuring the transparency of SPACE Network’s objectives.

Next to the Board members and Section Chairs, each country is represented: 1 vote per country.
Associate members can attend as an observer without voting right.

The Board consists of the President, two Vice-Presidents, the Financial Manager, the Adviser for Research and Development and the Secretary.
