About ASOR
ASOR is a not-for-profit national organisation. ASOR is entirely operated by volunteers drawn from its membership.
ASOR adopted a new constitution in 2021 and this can be viewed at ASOR Constitution.
- ASOR is incorporated in the Australian Capital Territory under the Associations Incorporation Act 1991 (Registration number A 00227).
- This Act requires ASOR to nominate a public officer. The current ASOR Public Officer is Hasan Turan.
- The constitution states that ASOR is run by a committee of up to 12 current ASOR members.
- We usually refer to the committee as the ASOR National Committee.
- Committee members serve a two-year term, and half of the positions are vacated each year.
- The constitution defines the office-bearer roles of President and Vice-President.
