Board Rules of Procedure Autism Dad United Global
Introduction
These rules of procedure are established by the board at the constituting meeting directly after the annual meeting and are valid for one year at a time. They function as a complement to the bylaws and describe routines, work distribution, and decision-making processes.
The board is responsible for implementing the annual meeting's decisions, leading the association's operations, ensuring finances and quality, and constituting a working team in line with the association's core values.
The board consists of:
Chairperson: Anders Joelsson
Secretary: Björn Grimsvik

Board Member: San Nilsson
When needed, the board may appoint working committees, signatories, and other functions such as vice chairperson in the future within itself. The board decides who may sign on behalf of the association (individually or jointly).
After the annual meeting, the board shall be convened as soon as possible to: - Assign roles (signatories, division of responsibilities) - Establish the rules of procedure for the period - Plan the board year (annual calendar, meeting schedule, important dates)
Board meetings are held as a rule at least once per month.
