Terms of Service:
Members of the committee are eleted from the general membership at a duly convened Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Each elected member can serve in the CMC for a maximum period of three years; after which he/she retires. Should such member wish to continue serving in the CMC, he/she can seek to be re-elected at the next AGM.
