General Assembly

The General Assembly is HOTREC’s highest decision-making body and brings together the representatives of all member associations. It is notably responsible for:

• Approving applications for membership and observer status;
• Electing the HOTREC President and other members of the Executive Committee (see below);
• Approving the annual accounts and determining the budget;
• Amending the statutes and the bye-laws of the association;
• Adopting HOTREC position papers.

The General Assembly generally takes decisions by consensus.

The General Assembly usually meets twice per year. The member associations take turns in hosting the General Assembly according to a rotating schedule.

The Executive Committee is chaired by the President. Other members are the Vice-President, the Treasurer, and three ordinary members.
