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:
“There is no such thing as a language, not if a language is anything like what many philosophers and linguists have supposed. There is therefore no such thing to be learned, mastered, or born with. We must give up the idea of a clearly defined shared structure which language-users acquire and then apply to cases.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
“... the structure of our public morality crashed to earth. Above its grave a tombstone read, “Be tolerant—even of evil.” Logically the next step would be to say to our commonwealth’s criminals, “I disagree that it’s all right to rob and murder, but naturally I respect your opinion.” Tolerance is only complacence when it makes no distinction between right and wrong.”
—Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 2, ch. 2 (1962)
“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)
