§ 6 The board of the local branch
Clause 1
The board of the local branch is responsible for the management of the branch’s
activities in accordance with these rules and the decisions made by the party
congress, district congress and the local branch. The role of the board is to agitate
for the party and its policy, to draw up municipal policy programmes, to be
responsible for the finances of the local branch and the administration of the
membership, and to support the activities of the Social Democratic associations and
clubs. When the local branch meeting is not in session, the board is the highest
decision-making body of the local branch.
The board has the employer’s responsibility for the staff employed at the local
branch office, unless this has been delegated to the executive of the party district.
Clause 2
The board of the local branch shall consist of at least seven members. For these
deputy members can be appointed. The board is elected for a period of two years.
Among the members of the board the chair and treasurer are elected separately. A
study organiser and trade union leader are to be appointed in the local branch, and sit
as members of the board.
The board shall have an uneven number of members. The members of the
numerically smaller group stand for re-election in one year, and the others in the
following year.
Clause 3
An executive committee can be appointed from within the board, or if the annual
general meeting so decides, the executive committee can be elected separately.
Clause 4
When ordinary members are prevented from attending, the deputy members take
their places in the order in which they have been elected.
