How the TDCA works
Organisation
Trustees Meetings
Trustees meet by Zoom during the year and hold a face-to-face meeting on the Friday afternoon prior to the Annual Gathering during which an Annual General Meeting takes place. Agendas and minutes are distributed by email.
Wider Consulation
Support Group members are consulted on a range of issues that may arise and involved with the organisation of events, especially the Annual Gathering.
Special General Meetings
A first Special General Meeting by Zoom was held successfully in September 2022 when membership approval was required. Afterwards an 'Any Questions' session took place with pre-submitted questions being put to the Tristan da Cunha Administrator Jason Ivory. This enabled direct communications betweeen members across the world (eg USA, South Africa, Iceland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Ireland, UK) with Tristan da cunha for the first time. We aim to repeat this experiment in the future.
