General Assembly
The Annual General Meeting is the association’s highest policy and decision-making organ. It considers annual reports and external audits, appoints Board members, approves work plans and budgets, and makes constitutional resolutions. The constitution requires an AGM each financial year with 21 days’ notice. Extraordinary General Meetings may be convened with seven days’ notice.
Board of Directors
The Board provides strategic direction, oversight, financial stewardship and organisational accountability. It appoints external auditors and oversees implementation of the mission. Office bearers and Board members serve three-year terms, renewable once.
Secretariat
The Executive Director leads strategy, partnerships and implementation. The Administrative Secretary coordinates day-to-day operations, records, correspondence and membership administration. The Treasurer maintains accurate accounts and oversees authorised financial records.
Five standing committees
- Finance and Audit: budgets, financial performance, controls and audit oversight.
- Technical and Standards: product quality, innovation, research and technical capacity.
- Membership: application review, engagement, retention and compliance.
- Resource Mobilisation: fundraising, investment and institutional partnerships.
- Governance and Ethics: integrity, conflict-of-interest management and accountability.
Integrity and inclusion
Office bearers must disclose conflicts of interest and withdraw from related deliberations and voting. TABICA’s constitution promotes gender balance, youth participation, inclusion of persons with disabilities and representation of marginalised groups.
