The current membership of <strong>Malteser</strong> <strong>International</strong><br />

consists of 26 National Associations and Priories of the<br />

Order of Malta, who actively support the organization<br />

within their jurisdictions. Currently, both regional<br />

branches in Europe and the Americas serve as associate<br />

members. Their representatives, together with the<br />

Board of Directors, the Grand Hospitaller of the Order<br />

of Malta, the Chaplain, the Secretary General and the<br />

Vice-Secretary General form the General Assembly: the<br />

organization’s highest decision-making body. The General<br />

Assembly is responsible for electing and discharging<br />

the Board of Directors, accepting the annual accounts,<br />

ordering financial audits as well as passing amendments<br />

to the by-laws. The President convokes the General<br />

Assembly once a year. The Board of Directors, which is<br />

elected for a four-year term, consists of the President,<br />

the Vice-President, the Treasurer, and up to two additional<br />

elected members, as well as the representatives<br />

from the regional branches in Europe and the Americas,<br />

and from the Asia-Pacific region. The Board of Directors<br />

works on a purely voluntary basis and is responsible for<br />

approving the financial plans and the annual budget, as<br />

well as commissioning the financial auditing of the annual<br />

accounts. The Board of Directors bears the overall<br />

responsibility for the organization’s operative tasks. The<br />

salaried Secretary General manages the organization’s<br />

General Secretariat. He is responsible for the operational<br />

management activities in line with the financial plan<br />

and the annual budget.<br />
