Membership is open to the general
public (Nationals and Foreigners) who are potentially
genuine supporters of ASSIST-Rwanda’s
cause and objectives, in its campaign and efforts to
address effectively the problems of the Rwandan children
in difficult circumstances.
Anyone is
legible as a member of ASSIST when she/he understands
its constitution and accepts to abide by
the rules and regulations of the organisation. So far,
this is the case with the 275 registered members, of
which some are already actively involved in ASSIST
-Rwanda
administration or in its
income generating services.
However,
membership ceases through: |
|
Death |
|
Voluntary resignation of the
members |
|
Dismissal when the leadership
(executive committee through the general assembly) finds
that the member’s activities are no longer in conformity
with the rules, regulations and code of conduct of the
organisation |
|
In both cases, the final decision is
taken only by the General Assembly |
|
