• Enabling MEAA’s chief executive to generally, but not entirely, exercise the powers and duties previously performed by the Federal Secretary, principally in Rule 50
• Transferring several duties and powers from the former Federal Secretary to the Federal President and in some cases, the MEAA Board
• Permitting the MEAA Board to delegate certain powers to the Chief Executive
• Enabling Regional Directors to exercise the administrative powers and duties of Branch Secretaries
• The deletion of references to ‘full-time officers’ wherever occurring in the Rules
• The creation of definitions for Associate Member, Chief Executive, Regional Director and Senior Employee
• The reclassification of ‘Four Deputy Federal Presidents’ to ‘Four Section Federal Presidents, in rule 47 (and elsewhere) to reflect the correct title of these positions
