Our Constitution
Serving as the foundational framework for how the council operates and is governed, the constitution outlines our powers and responsibilities. While its purpose is to provide clarity and structure, we believe it should remain a living document: one that evolves alongside the needs of our community. In doing so, we aim to continuously uphold our guiding theme of “Self and Society.”
