Governance

The RCA Association is governed in accordance with its Constitution and By-laws which in turn are founded on its Act of Incorporation.

The RCAA has a two-tier governance model. The top tier consists of a Board of Directors that is strategic in its outlook and which functions in an oversight capacity. The Board of Directors is headed by a Chair. The second tier consists of an Executive Committee headed by a President. This tier is operational in nature and responsible for the day to day functioning of the Association.

The organization is a registered charity under the income Tax Act and is exempt from Income tax.

A general meeting is held annually.
