Assembly

Each member of UArctic is represented in the Assembly, which oversees our program development and the direction of the organization. The Assembly also acts as a forum of consultation, networking and cooperation between all members. To address the Assembly's general responsibilities, Committees are maintained. Assembly member representatives and committee members meet annually. Assembly Officers and all Committee members are elected by the Assembly.
