Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is the governing body of the General Council, which deals with all procedural matters, implements the resolutions of the Plenary Board and decides on any matters that do not require the approval of this latter. It is renewed, through an electoral process, every three years.
The Executive Committee consists of the President, 1st and 2nd Vice-presidents, the Secretary, the Treasurer, the Vice treasurer and the Accountant.

The President chairs the meeting of the Plenary Board and the Executive Committee, sets the agenda and directs its debates. He also chairs the sessions of the different areas of work; appoints local assistant investigators for the Investigation Committees, whose opinions will be subsequently ratified by the Executive Committee.
