The management of Mieterbund Bonn/Rhein-Sieg/Ahr e.V.
The German Tenants' Association Bonn/Rhein-Sieg/Ahr e.V. is a registered association that campaigns for the interests of tenants. The most important body of the association is the general meeting, which meets once a year and elects the board every two years. The honorary board determines the internal and external policy of the association, with the interests of the members taking centre stage. The association works closely with many social organisations to represent the interests of its members.
An advisory board represents the members between the general meetings. The advisory board elects a chairman or chairwoman who attends the board meetings in an advisory capacity.
The management of the organisation is responsible for the day-to-day work of legal advice and administration - including personnel and public relations.
