HACSU Tasmania is overseen by a Committee of Management, who are
HACSU Members elected by the union membership every four years.
The HACSU Committee of Management is the body responsible
overall for the management and control of the affairs of the union. The roles
and function of the management committee are determined by the rules of the
union.
All members of the management committee are elected by the HACSU
membership every four years. It consists of seven union officers and eight
ordinary members of the Branch Committee.
The seven officers of the union on the management committee are
the President, Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Senior Vice-President, Junior
Vice-President and two Trustees.
The Committee of Management meets at least five times a year.
From time to time it establishes sub-committees around specific
projects or issues.
HACSU members on the Executive Committee of the management
committee meet every month to examine in detail the financial accounts of the
union and to scrutinise every item of expenditure made during the month to
ensure members’ funds are spent in members’ best interests. The Executive
Committee consists of members like you, who work in the industry and who are
committed to ensuring HACSU remains a well-run and accountable union.
The overall management committee also scrutinises, reviews and
approves expenditure.
