Governance
AAMT is a company limited by guarantee with charitable status (ABN: 20 682 307 875).
Teachers and schools generally join the maths association in their state or territory. Eight state and territory associations are members of AAMT. As such members of state and territory associations gain access to the benefits of AAMT.
AAMT is funded through membership fees, journal and online subscriptions, grant-funded projects and professional learning activities.
The decision-making body responsible for AAMT is the Board of Directors. The AAMT Board is made up of the eight board directors: one nominated from each state or territory association across the country. Additionally, the constitution has provision for the Board of Directors to appoint two additional directors as they see fit. From the Board of Directors, the following officer bearer positions are elected annually:
- Board Chair
- Board Vice-Chair
- Chair of the FARM Committee
The CEO serves as Company Secretary and an ex-officio member of the Board of Directors.
Council members are all volunteers. There is a six-year time limitation to the tenure of Board members. The Board meets at least four times per year. Some of the meetings may be conducted by videoconference.
The Chief Executive Officer is a full-time salaried leadership role in AAMT that is responsible to the Board of Directors. AAMT employs other staff to carry out its day-to-day functions and support the work of the Chief Executive Officer.
Detailed information about the operations of AAMT are given in the Constitution.
