Who constitutes the governing body of ASET?

The governing body of the Association of Science and Engineering Technology (ASET) is the ASET Council. This council is primarily responsible for the overall management, governance, and policy-making of the organization. It consists of elected members who represent different constituencies within the association, ensuring that the interests of various stakeholders, including professionals and the engineering technology community, are adequately represented.

The council's functions include setting strategic directions, overseeing budgetary decisions, and establishing standards for profession, conduct, and practice for its members. The structure of the ASET Council allows for effective governance as it is composed of individuals who are knowledgeable about the industry and are committed to advancing professional practices. This system fosters accountability and helps maintain the integrity of the profession.

In contrast, while the minister and public members may play significant roles in broader regulatory and policy contexts, they do not constitute the governing body of ASET. ASET members, while vital to the association, do not collectively govern; rather, their interests are represented by the elected members of the council.
