To coordinate this selection process and ensure that it is transparent, fair and involves all accredited member organisations, the Secretary General appoints Country Coordinators in each of the countries where there are more than one (1) accredited member organisations. The ASPBAE Secretariat has begun to inform the accredited member organisations on who their respective Country Coordinators are.
