==Governance structure== | |||
The constitution of ZAM puts the Annual General Meeting and the Extra Ordinary Conference at the top of its hierarchy, to which the National Executive Committee reports. An eight-member NEC is elected every two years, and is responsible for conducting the affairs of the association. Duly elected National Executive Committee members hold office for two years and are eligible for re-election. The Chairperson is eligible to stand for two conservative terms. | |||
The Secretariat, which employs professional staff and is overseen by the General Secretary, has various departments that deal with the mandates of ZAM, namely: Administration and Commission, Finance and Research Mobilization, Promotion and Networking, Legal and Quality Control, Projects, and Research and Advocacy. ZAM is governed by a Code of Conduct, which is administered by disciplinary committee, and like NEC, it is also elected by the AGM every two years. | |||
