The APF Forum Council
The Forum Council is the decision-making body of the APF. Established by the APF
Constitution, the Forum Council operates as the APF’s ‘board of directors’.
The Forum Council sets the APF’s policies and priorities, decides membership
applications and exercises all the powers set out in the constitution.
The Forum Council is made up of senior representatives from the APF’s Full members.
Each Full (or ‘A status’) member nominates one voting councillor to participate on the
Forum Council.
Forum Councillors may establish ‘committees of Councillors’ to administer different
aspects of the APF’s operations.
Our staff
The APF secretariat reports to the Governance Committee, Forum Council and General
Assembly through the APF Chairperson.
