Structure
The OBESSU is structured with a General Assembly as the highest decision making body. The General Assembly meets annually and decides about statutes, the political platform and the workplan, as well as elects the Board of OBESSU, which is the highest decision making body within OBESSU between the GA and COMEM. The Board is elected annually with overlapping mandates. In this way not all Board members are elected in the same year. The Board consists of 5 or 7 members.
Between every General Assembly there is a Council of Members (COMEM), which is the second highest decision-making body within OBESSU. The Board and the Secretary General coordinate the daily work of the organisation. OBESSU has a European secretariat based in Brussels. Besides the Secretary General, Viviana Galli, the secretariat consists of a Project & Policy Officer and Policy Officer of Vocational Education and Training.

Famous quotes containing the word structure:
“In the extent and proper structure of the Union, therefore, we behold a republican remedy for the diseases most incident to republican government.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“The philosopher believes that the value of his philosophy lies in its totality, in its structure: posterity discovers it in the stones with which he built and with which other structures are subsequently built that are frequently better—and so, in the fact that that structure can be demolished and yet still possess value as material.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Women over fifty already form one of the largest groups in the population structure of the western world. As long as they like themselves, they will not be an oppressed minority. In order to like themselves they must reject trivialization by others of who and what they are. A grown woman should not have to masquerade as a girl in order to remain in the land of the living.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
