The Club expressly excludes from its objective any

As required by its Statutes, the Club is governed,
administered and represented by a Governing Board, consisting of between 8 and
12 members, who are elected by secret postal ballot of Club Members, votes
being counted at the Annual General Assembly.
According to Article 10 of the Statutes, the General Assembly of Members
“is the organ for formation and expression of the Club’s will, its decisions
are obligatory for all members, whenever they are adopted according to these
Statutes”. According to Article 9 of the
Statutes, “the organs of the Club Internacional d’Andorra are the General Assembly of members, the
Governing Board, and the activity groups”.
There are also Club Rules and Rules of Procedure for the Governing Board
and the Executive Committee, appointed by the Board as responsible for the
day-to-day running of the Club.
