Board of Directors and Bureau

The Union is governed by a Board of Directors. The Members of the Board are elected by the General Assembly for a period of 3 years.

The Board of Directors selects, by secret ballot from among its members, a Bureau composed of a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary General and a Treasurer. The Bureau is elected for a period of one year.

The President has responsibility for carrying out the decisions of the Board and ensuring the correct functioning of the Union.

The Vice-President assists the President in carrying out these responsibilities, and functions as Acting President when the President is unable to attend in person.
