Committee members 2017/2018

Each year at an AGM nine people are elected from the 21 member-station representatives to form the executive body called the Coordination Committee. The Coordination Committee is the Governing Body of the Craol Cooperative.

These nine constitute Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer, PRO, Secretary and four other ordinary members who look after Networking, Training, Communications, and Advocacy. The membership of these is on a voluntary basis by the station representatives and each is chaired by a member of the co-ordinating committee bar the chair.

Decisions are taken through a combination of email, audioconference and physical meetings. Workgroups ensure effective implementation and evaluation of actions. Most are time bounded based on need. The co-ordinating committee will also deal with unforeseen issues, workgroup coordination as well as overall governance. One third of the members are rotated at every AGM. The members of the co-ordinating committee receive no payment for their time except the refund of receipted travel expenses incurred in attending meetings.
