ÖJAB’s ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

ÖJAB (the Austrian Young Workers’ Movement) is a nonprofit organization (NPO). Key statutory bodies are as follows:

• The Presidium is the association’s supervisory body. The Presidium’s members are elected by the General Assembly (except for the Presidium’s employee representatives, who are appointed by the Works Council).

• The Advisory Board is appointed by the Presidium in accordance with the Management’s recommendations and provides the Management with advice and support on all matters.
• The Works Council represents ÖJAB’s employees.
• The Residents’ Speaker is elected on Youth Delegates’ Day by the delegates who represent all individuals living at ÖJAB’s student and youth dormitories.
