HOW DOES THE CONSUMERS ASSOCIATION OPERATE AND MANAGE ITS DAILY AFFAIRS ?
As a volunteer organisation, operating in a democratic system, the Association is run according to a statute which was formulated when it was first set up. This stipulates that annual general meetings are held to elect a council. The council acts to set draw up policies. The day-to-day affairs are managed by the Executive which is composed from the three officials the president, the secretary general and the financial secretary. Recently, the Association has set up the post of Co-ordinator on a part time basis. The Co-ordinator is responsible to coordinate the activities of the active members and also coordinate programmes of activities. The Association requires financial assistance from the general public to pay for office expenses since it receives no financial assistance from the Government. The annual membership fee is Lm1 and 50 cents for pensioners and students.
