EARPA is functioning thanks to its members' annual contributions and is composed of three main bodies:
- First, the General Assembly, in which all members are participating, governs the Association.
- Second, the Executive Board, to which the management of the association is delegated, initiates activities and carries out the representative tasks.
Mr. Affenzeller (AVL) as President of this board is also EARPA Chairman.
- Third, the EARPA Secretariat, which supports the Board and the General Assembly, is present in Brussels. The EARPA Secretary-General is Ms. Attané.
The General Meeting of the Members governs the Association: so called General Assembly. Full and associated members are entitled to vote and to elect the members of the Executive Board to which the management of the association has been delegated.
Every year the EARPA General Assembly takes place in March in Brussels. This General Assembly is followed by a reception, which is open to the public.
For more information on EARPA events, please see our events' section.
