Central Administration Committee

The Presidential Committee includes the general president and three general vice presidents.
 
 
The Central Administration Committee consists of the Presidential Committee and two other members. The latter are proposed by the Presidential Committee according to their professional skills and their ability to carry out the programmes adopted and elected by the Central Planning and Supervisory Committee in the first session following the election of the general President.
 
 

Its members stay in office for no longer than three years: all of them can be re-elected one first time and then again after at least one year’s interruption. In this way, the Central Administration Committee is partially renewed every year. The members of the Central Administration Committee take part in the sessions of the Central Planning and Supervisory Committee, voicing their opinions but without the right to vote. The Central Administration Committee is entitled to take the resolutions not adopted by the Central Planning and Supervisory Committee to the Assembly of Delegates.
