As TAREA is a membership organization, the management of the organization is naturally depending on the members. The institution for this is the Annual General Meeting (AGM), which takes place once a year. Every member is invited to come there in order to participate in elections, exhibitions or presentations that accompany the event.

The AGM usually sees the presentation of outcomes and perspectives of TAREA's work during the period since the last meeting. Furthermore, at the AGM, the Secretariate presents the Annual Financial Report and proposes a budget for the coming period, which then needs to be confirmed by the AGM.

Furthermore, the participants of the Annual General Meeting are electing the Executive Committee and the Technical Commitee. These committees are supervising and steering TAREA's actual activities throughout the year.

Detailed responsibilities of the AGM include:

• Election of EC and part of TC
• Determination of general policies for TAREA,
• Consideration of Annual Report
• Appoint auditors
• Alternate and renew membership fees and other duties.
