STRUCTURE
The RSSA is a National Association incorporated in
South Australia. There are two meetings per year
of delegates from member schools. In addition
the Executive meets four times a year.
Members of the Executive are elected for a three-year-term
and can serve a maximum of two terms. The selection
of members attempts to represent geographical locations,
city/rural, large/small - but as the work of the Association
has expanded and become more complex, particularly in
relation to national and political issues, a more skills-based
executive has been seen to be required.
The formal mandate of the Executive is to:
- Oversee the RSSA's maintenance and implementation
of its aims and objectives as expressed in the Mission
Statement
- Oversee the RSSA's formal and legal responsibilities
- Manage the RSSA's budget which has been approved
by the general meeting of the Association
- Form, in consultation with other RSSA committees
and members, the meeting agenda for the delegates'
meetings and circulate in a timely manner
- Oversee the preparation and chairing of meetings
- Take responsibility for representation of the Association's
position to government and peak body level
- Take responsibility for representation of Steiner
Education at a national level to the general public
- Keep members informed of significant issues arising
at national and state level, and to seek their views
when representation is required on potentially contentious
issues
The positions on the Executive are honorary.
However there is a part-time Executive Officer appointed
to work with the Executive and for the Association.
Currently this position is held by Rosemary Gentle.
