Unions rules updated 11.11.2022

  • Teekkari council appoints a board for a calendar year. The board is chosen in autumn meeting of the council. The board uses its own authority to manage affairs.

    The duties of the board are to lead the association according to the rules and decisions, represent the association, to manage finances and administration of the association, to prepare the issues discussed at Teekkari council’s meetings, to make an action plan and report of the association as well as budget and financial statements, to select necessary staff and working groups and monitor their activities and to inform member organizations about the decisions of the board and association meetings.

  • The Teekkari Council is the supreme body of decision making in the Teekkari Union of Tampere. The Teekkari Council therefore decides on the “big lines” of the Union and directs the association's activities. Each of the ordinary members (guilds) appoints three representatives and three vice representatives to the Teekkari Council, i.e. the total number of members in Teekkari Council is 42+42.

    The council has at least two regular meetings per year. However, usually meetings are held annually three (3) to four (4) times. Council meetings discuss and approve, for example, the association's action plans and reports, budgets, and financial statements. The Board of Tampere Teekkari Union is also elected each year by the Council. The Council also directs other issues regarding Teekkari Union, for example, association’s major projects, strategy and deciding on honours.

    As a member of the Guilds or Supporting Members Association, you are welcome to follow the meetings of the Teekkari Council! On meeting days, everyone also has the right to wear a Teekkari cap!

    Are you interested in serving at the Teekkari Council?
    Being part of the Teekkari Council is an easy way to influence Teekkari Union’s activities. You can serve in the Teekkari Council as long as you are a member of one of the ordinary members. Each guild decides for themselves their way to elect their representatives, so be in touch with your guild’s board!
