Secretarial Support:
The EFCA secretary is the only paid post and is on a part time retainer basis working an 'average two days per week'. The secretary's role is to organise and minute meetings, control finances, collect statistics, provide a focal point for information and advice to external organisations or individuals and co-ordinate day to day running of the Federation. The secretary may also represent EFCA on a number if European committees.
New Members:
Admixture producers must join their National Admixture Association in order to become involved in EFCA work. Most National Associations have associate membership for suppliers and supporting companies and they are also encouraged to contribute to the Federations work as appropriate.
Where there is no National Association, EFCA will help and encourage local admixture manufacturers to form an association but may allow individual companies to have associate membership of EFCA until an association is established.
