The St Lucia Red Cross Society is in the process of reviewing
its Constitution. The present constitution, which provides the
legal framework for the operations of the organization, has been
in existence for over 20 years.
The new draft constitution addresses 41 articles including the
objectives of the St Lucia Red Cross; membership, structure and
governance of the organization, as well as the role of the executive
members. The draft document, which was prepared by the executive,
has been distributed to members and volunteers of the St Lucia
Red Cross for their comments and recommendations.
These recommendations will be discussed at a special meeting
before the document is finally adopted. On adopting the new constitution,
the General Assembly is then to elect a new executive to govern
the operation of the St Lucia Red Cross in between sessions of
the General Assembly.
