| Organizational structure: |
UBSA is governed by its bylaws and regulations and works through United Bible Societies Association, a company and charity registered in the UK. The Association’s governing documents are its Memorandum and Articles of Association. The Association is commissioned by the UBS fellowship to provide services to its member Bible Societies. Providing these services is the principal means through which it fulfils its objectives. The UBS fellowship operates in over 200 countries around the world. It is governed by the World Assembly, at which all member Bible Societies are represented. The World Assembly, which is held at least every five to eight years, sets the strategic direction of the UBS. Between Assemblies the fellowship’s affairs are directed by the Global Council and its Committees. Acting in its capacity as the executive body of the fellowship, the Global Council sets the membership fee, which the fellowship assigns to the Association, to provide the required services to UBS members. The Global Council consists of between twenty and twenty-four voting members drawn from member Bible Societies and partner organisations whose vision, mission and values are in keeping with those of the UBS fellowship. The Global Council appoints from among its members an Executive Board, consisting of 7 members, who are by virtue of the office the Trustees of the United Bible Societies Association. The Trustees are responsible for the governance oversight of the Association. In their corporate capacity as the Executive Board, they work together to fulfil the governance function. The Board delegates the exercise of certain management and administrative powers to the Finance and Audit Committee, as well as to other Committees. Executive responsibility rests with the UBS Director General who is appointed by the Board and leads the UBS Global Mission Team. The Association provides services which include co-ordination of member Societies’ activities, consultancy services in the fields of translation, programme, finance, fundraising, communications, administration of personnel, information technology services and implementation of UBS strategies, policies and procedures. These services are provided through Hubs, located in several countries: Swindon, United Kingdom; Nairobi, Kenya; Singapore; Miami, USA. |
