| DECISION MAKING The sections of the organization and their duties were explained above. In this section these sections examined according to their roles in the decision making process in the organization. General Assembly: General Assembly holds all the election authority on the hand. Besides making changes in the charter and querying the activities of the Board of Directors are duties of the General Assembly.
