The OCB Gathering

OCB Gatherings over the years
Show less
The OCB Gathering is the major event of the year for the association. It is for the OCB what the General Assembly is for the sections. It is held once a year in Brussels, in conjunction with the week for heads of mission and medical coordinators, and brings together between 200 and 300 members from headquarters, the partner sections, other sections and missions where projects are under way.
It is filmed and broadcast live to the missions whenever possible, so debates can be held regardless of distance. The aim is to create a real link between the field, members, and the OCB decisionmaking process. It is the main associative platform for debates and motions on OCB operations, and the main platform for field representatives (chosen during the Field Associative Debates or mini-Gas).
The OCB Board members are also elected at the OCB Gathering.
The Board is made up of one representative from each of the OCB partner sections and 6 members elected directly at the Gathering.
L’OCB Gathering est le plus grand événement associatif de l’année. Il est à l’OCB ce que l’Assemblée générale est aux sections. Cette réunion a lieu une fois par an à Bruxelles, conjointement à la semaine des chefs de missions et des coordinateurs médicaux, et rassemble entre 200 et 300 membres issus du
siège, des sections partenaires, des autres sections et missions où sont organisés des projets. Son déroulement est filmé et retransmis aux missions en direct lorsque cela est possible afin de permettre aux débats de prendre place indépendemment de la distance. Son objectif est de matérialiser un lien réel entre le terrain, les membres et le processus de prise de décision de l’OCB.
Il s’agit de la principale plate-forme associative pour les débats et les motions concernant les opérations de l’OCB, et de la principale plate-forme pour les représentants du terrain (choisis lors de Field Associative Debate ou mini-AG).
L’élection des membres du Conseil d’administration de l’OCB a également lieu lors de l’OCB Gathering.
Le Conseil d’administration est constitué d’un représentant par section partenaire de l’OCB et de 6 membres élus directement lors du Gathering.
