The KAV is organized similarly as the City Council: A Steering Committee is the executive head of the General Assembly ("Plenum").
The General Assembly
The
General Assembly is the highest office of the KAV. It consists of 37 elected
representatives of the foreign population for the city of Frankfurt am Main.
The elections are held every 5 years. The decisions and resolutions of the
General Assembly are binding for all committees within the KAV. The KAV Plenum
normally meets once monthly. In these sessions, the resolutions and inquiries
of the membership to the Magistrate are debated and approved. All other
activities of the KAV are also handled.
The Steering Committee
The
Steering Committee is composed of the Chairperson and equally authorized
Deputies. The Chairperson has the responsibility to summon the General
Assembly, to establish the agenda for the Plenum and to receive resolutions
that are then presented to the General Assembly. The Chairperson also chairs
all General Assembly as well as Steering Committee sessions.
Committees, District, Councils and Commissions
The
KAV appoints members who participate in the sessions of the City Council and
their Committees, as well as District Councils and Magistrate Commissions.
These KAV members are obligated to bring forward the concerns and issues of the
KAV within these organizations.
