Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is the central governing body of the Central Aid Agency. Its mission is to be the top command authority for the Central Aid Agency, keeping Christ as the focus and center of all operations; as well as to create governing policies, rules and regulations, and guide the organization as a whole. The Board of Directors is based out of the Executive Headquarters, which is the designation used for any Headquarters currently responsible for housing the Board. The Board of Directors makes decisions using a democratic process of voting. Standard rank hierarchy does not apply in Board settings, and to that end all Board Officers are functionally the same rank in regards to Board issues.
The Board is led by the Executive Director who is assisted by up to two Deputy Directors and a Chair of the Joint Chiefs that is elected each year from standing Directors, these positions serve as the Executive Board. Additionally, the Board is comprised of a lower Board called the Joint Chiefs of Staff that is comprised of Directors from each Primary Command; as well as additional Board positions, both voting and non-voting. The Executive Director and each Director have the ability to appoint Deputy Directors, though Deputy Directors do not hold a vote in most circumstances.
Additionally, the Board has non-voting support staff positions, such as Board Secretary and Treasurer, that can be appointed to assist with Board functions. For voting, all voting Board positions each has one vote, but the Executive Director additionally has the ability to break ties.
In circumstances where Primary Commands are not activated and Director positions are vacant, the Board may be replaced by a Field Board. Field Board members are ranking leadership personnel, who are typically not Directors, but perform a similar Board function in the absence of an appointed Director. The C.A.A. Board is currently functioning as a Field Board.
