General Committee\u200b<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

The General Committee is the ultimate decision-making body in IFES. It is composed of delegates, including students, from each IFES member movement, and meets every four years at the IFES World Assembly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

The General Committee is responsible for appointing the IFES General Secretary and the IFES Board. It provides a forum for sharing vision and mutual challenges, exchange of ideas, policy-making and setting of goals. Delegates, briefed by their movements, are encouraged to bring to the attention of the worldwide IFES Fellowship issues that need careful study, discussion and action. The General Committee can also formulate policies and set goals for the Board and the staff team of IFES to fulfil. As a legislative body, the General Committee is responsible for accepting into membership new national movements. It also amends the IFES Constitution when necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
