Associations can propose items for consideration at meetings of the Federation Council or annual conference. A feature of council meetings is a parliamentary style question time where questions without notice may be asked of the presidential officers. Questions with notice are also published in the council business paper. Members of the Federation Executive are elected by the council. Presidential officers are also members of Executive.
Executive meets every two weeks during the school year.
In all but the most extraordinary circumstances, all letters received from members are printed in the journal. State-wide Sky Channel meetings of Federation members are called from time to time to consider issues of major importance. These satellite broadcasts offer members, in all parts of the state, the opportunity to hear reports and participate in the affairs of their union. A state-wide tally is kept of the voting at these meetings. A conference for women members and a number of special conferences are held each year.
