Responsibilities of members

​

Edan is an interest- and friendship-based network. We hope that all members will be able to develop their interests and act towards each other and to the general public in a spirit of friendship. However, there are some responsibilities related to the legal status of edan as a Not-for-Profit Limited Company. Its committee members are classified as Directors of the company and there is a legally sanctioned constitution applicable to its status. The Constitution is available for consultation in a file in the Art Block. 

As a publicly accountable organisation, all members must: 

​​

• work within the law

• observe the terms of edan’s organisational policies including Health and Safety, Equal Opportunities and the Role of Volunteers

• operate with the Aims and Objectives as set out in the Business Plan which can only be changed by a majority decision of members at monthly meetings.
