Centers and Divisions
Organised where members work
A Center is a group of MANCO members in one work area: a health centre, a unit or a cluster of facilities. Centers are where the organisation really lives.
The structure
It starts and ends with members
Members elect every layer. The General Assembly, where every member has a voice, sits above the Board.
Centers
Members in one work area, elected by ballot or petition every three years. They mobilise members, orient new staff and represent colleagues.
Center councils
All the Centers at a facility, meeting at least once a month. They plan outreach, keep minutes, handle concerns and appeals.
Divisions
Councils grouped by area, meeting at least every three months with a rank and file chair. They plan strategy and set a code of conduct.
Executive Board
Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Executive Director, Finance Director and Secretary. Meets at least every three months.
General Assembly
Every member. Meets at least once a year to review the Board, pass the budget and approve the work plan.
Divisions
Where we are, and where we are going
Planned

Fair by design
How Center leaders are chosen and held to account
- Elected
By ballot or by a petition signed by a majority of members in the work area.
- Re-confirmed every three years
No one holds a Center role indefinitely without a fresh vote.
- Unpaid
Center members serve without pay. The Board may reimburse lost time and out of pocket costs.
- Recallable
Concerns go first to the Center council. If unresolved, a majority petition can call a recall ballot.
Start a Center where you work
If there is no MANCO Center at your facility yet, a few members can begin one. The Board will help you organise the first vote.
