The delegates – plus 20 each of delegated substitute employer and employee representatives – are elected by the Assembly of Delegates for a period of four years. When the election list is drawn up, care is taken to ensure that regions and sectors are suitably represented. The Ordinary Assembly of Delegates is held in the first half of the year. In the second half of the year, delegates attend the AsgaForum. The Forum is an information and training event at which members of the Board of Directors, the Executive Board and the officers responsible report on developments at Asga and answer questions put by the delegates.
