National Governance.

RMLA’s national governance structure provides the leadership, oversight, and strategic direction for the Association. The National Committee is responsible for managing RMLA’s affairs in accordance with the Constitution, with a focus on representing members across the country, supporting the Association’s purposes, and ensuring sound, effective governance.

Annual elections give members the opportunity to nominate for a role on RMLA’s National Committee and help shape the future direction of the Association. In line with the Constitution, nominations are called at least six weeks before the AGM, must be seconded by another member, and must be received no later than three weeks before the AGM. If more nominations are received than there are vacancies, an election will be held. Please contact us for more information.
