Organization
The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association of Canada may designate “Regions” of the Association, the boundaries of which shall be determined by the NEC. Within those Regions, “Groups” shall comprise one or more areas. For example, the Alberta Group of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association of Canada includes all of the Wings located in Alberta. A “Wing” may be established upon petition of members for a local branch, and upon approval and recommendation of the appropriate Group.
Each of these components of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association of Canada will have its own Executive Council that will hold its assets and liabilities, conduct its own business as appropriate to the locality, and make its own rules and regulations as long as those are not inconsistent with the overall bylaws of the Royal Canadian Air Force Association of Canada, and having been approved by the National or Group Executive Council.
