General Committee
The General Committee (GC) meets twice a year and is responsible for formulating GM resolutions policies. It is the main decision-making body between the European Congresses. The Committee is composed of the members of the Committee of Representatives and 11 members selected by the Executive Board.
This allows Génération Maastricht to combine national representatives with directly elected European representatives united in one assembly. All General Committee members interact with the Executive Board (EB) in a parliament-like style. Each of the 11 selected members are also responsible for an assigned organisational activity, as chair of one of the Advocacy and Lobbying Commissions (ALCs) or Task Forces respectively.
Programme Directors are appointed for the Civic Training, Feminist Diplomacy and Youth Participation Working Groups.
Commission Presidents are appointed for the four ALCs, alongside with coordinators for thematic and regular missions within commissions.
Safeguarding Board
The Safeguarding and Arbitration Board settles statutory conflicts between members, Génération Maastricht sections and statutory bodies of Génération Maastricht. Its five members elected take their decisions by simple majority. The entire Safeguarding and Arbitration Board can be reached on: safeguarding@generationmaastricht.org !
