Structure

We hold business meetings once a month. All ACA members are encouraged to attend.

We operate on a participatory democratic governance structure - all key decisions are brought to the group, discussed, and voted on.

Our meetings follow a set agenda that has evolved over many years. We also believe in rotating service - so key roles rotate annually.

Please email us at greaternewyorkaca@gmail.com if you are interested in doing service.

Our meetings are held monthly on Zoom. Please reach out and we can send you the details to attend.
