ESA
EUROPEAN STRABISMOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
Founded 1982
former Consilium Europaeum Strabismi Studio Deditum (CESSD)
BY-LAWS
Article 1:
The European Strabismological Association (ESA) derives from the CESSD founded in Paris in May 1962. The new association was founded with the aim of opening the former CESSD to all persons, who have a special interest in eye motility problems and disturbances of binocular vision.
Article 2:
The aims of the European Strabismological Association are:
a)to disseminate knowledge of all sensory and motor aspects of strabismus and other disorders of ocular motility,
b)to diffuse knowledge of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures,
c)to foster clinical and experimental research,
d)to create as far as possible a common global terminology in spire of the differences of language.
Article 3:
The ESA is autonomous and administers itself within the European Ophthalmological Society. It has its administrative seat in the city of the Secretary’s residence.
Article 4:
There shall be the following classes of membership:
Ordinary Members, Associate Members, Honorary Members and Senior Members. Any physician with a special interest in strabismology, who is duly proposed in writing by two Ordinary Members or Honorary Members, shall become an Ordinary Member by decision of the Executive Committee. Any non-physician with a special interest in strabismology, who is duly proposed in writing by two Ordinary Members or Honorary Members, shall become an Associate Member by decision of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee can transform an associate membership to ordinary membership.
Any person, who has performed particularly meritorious work in strabismology may become an Honorary Member by a majority vote of Ordinary Members at the General Business Meeting. Any Ordinary or Associate Member who is no more professionally active can be considered as Senior Member and does not need to pay membership fees. A Senior Member can be classified as such by written request.
Ordinary, Honorary and Senior Members have a voting right.
393
The qualification of membership is lost by resignation. Failure to pay dues by the last day of the calendar year shall automatically disqualify membership until the dues have been paid.
Article 5:
The annual membership fee will be fixed by the General Business Meeting. The money has to be paid in the currency of the location of the society. In the case of members from countries where currency restrictions limit the transfer of funds, it shall be possible to have this membership fee waived upon written request to the Secretary/Treasurer. Honorary members do not pay any fee.
Article 6:
Administration of the association:
The association is managed by an Executive Committee consisting of:
l President
3 Vice-Presidents
l Secretary/Treasurer
3 Councillors
Each member of the Executive Committee is elected at the General Business Meeting from among the ordinary members, for a period of 4 years. Re-election is possible only for one additional term. For the election representation of regions, languages and of the next meeting place should be taken into due consideration. In the event of vacancy of one member of the Executive Committee substitution will be performed by election at the following General Business Meeting.
After nominations by ordinary members present the vote shall be taken by a show of hands or if requested by means of a secret written ballot. The election shall be made by a simple majority of votes.
If no candidate reaches the majority of votes, the election shall be repeated by reducing the number of candidates to the two candidates, who obtained the most votes. In the case of a tie of votes the President shall have the casting vote.
The Executive Committee fixes the date and place of the meetings and determines the program of the sessions.
The President presides at meetings of the Executive Committee, the General Business Meeting and all other meetings of the association. He may temporarily delegate his functions to one of the VicePresidents or to another member of the Executive Committee.
The Vice-President shall assume the duties of the President in the event of the President being unable to perform any of his duties.
The duties of the Secretary / Treasurer shall include
a)the collection of membership fees,
b)the recording of minutes of the meetings,
c)the presentation of the Secretary’s/Treasurer’s report at the General Business Meeting,
d)the correspondence concering the ESA as necessary. The function of the Secretary and the Treasurer bearing in mind the local conditions of some European countries can be performed by one or two members of the Executive Committee.
Two of the Councillors shall organize the next meetings of the ESA.
Article 7:
A Meeting of the association shall take place at least every two years, in case of a congress of the European Ophthalmological Society as a satellit-meeting.
394
A Program Committee of three persons shall be appointed by the Executive Committee for the selection of papers to be presented at the meeting and the appointment of the authors for the reports.
The proceedings volume will be edited by a member appointed by the Executive Committee as Editor and will be send to all the members of the association.
The General Business Meeting shall be held on the occasion of the meeting of the association with a quorum of not less than thirty (30) ordinary members. A vote shall be taken by a show of hands or by a simple majority vote of ordinary members present and voting. In the case of a tie of votes the President shall have the casting vote. There shall be no voting by proxy.
Proposed changes of the by-laws shall be submitted to the Secretary not less than 6 months and shall be communicated to all ordinary members not less than 3 months prior to the General Business Meeting for a vote at that meeting.
Article 8:
The official languages of the ESA are English, French, German and occasionally the language of the meeting place.
