EASFAA has a number of regular contractual obligations which are entered into according to the following policies:
The Treasurer recommends a contractual relationship with an auditor, the Regional Council approves the contract and the Treasurer signs the agreement.
The Annual Conference Site Selection is handled by the President-Elect. The Council approves the site and terms and conditions and the President-Elect signs the agreement.
A number of minor contractual matters arise annually in planning the Annual Conference. The President is responsible for negotiating those ancillary arrangements and for signing the agreements.
Other contractual matters that may arise from time to time should be brought to the President and Executive Committee for discussion. Generally the President and Executive Committee should bring such matters before the entire Council for discussion and decision. However, from time to time, the President and Executive Committee may determine that the matter is minor, routine or of such pressing importance that a decision cannot await a full Council meeting. In such cases the President may obligate the Association with the advise and consent of the Executive Committee.
No member of EASFAA has the authority or responsibility to contractually bind the organization except as noted above.
Procedures:
The necessary procedures are embodied in the individual policy statements above.
