Principles and Goals
- The EAC offers and provides help, orientation and support to new Egyptian immigrants who arrive into Canterbury.
- EAC upholds the values of participatory democracy, all members from all backgrounds are able to access the elected management committee and all views are to be given equal consideration at general meetings.
- EAC serves as a unifying organisation for the local Egyptian community in order to give the community a voice and presence on the local scene. Having an official organisation for the Egyptian community should imbue it with the capacity to be a more effective participant in local life.
- Maintain close contacts and communication with governmental and non governmental organisations, public domains and private entities and organisations.

Famous quotes containing the words principles and/or goals:
“It is a life-and-death conflict between all those grand, universal, man-respecting principles which we call by the comprehensive term democracy, and all those partial, person-respecting, class-favoring elements which we group together under that silver-slippered word aristocracy. If this war does not mean that, it means nothing.”
—Antoinette Brown Blackwell (1825–1921)
“I think that any woman who sets goals for herself and takes her own life seriously and moves to achieve the goals that she wants as a person in her own right is a feminist.”
—Frances Kuehn (b. 1943)
