TAREA is organized in different bodies.
Chairperson
The organization is being supervised by Eng. Prosper Magali (2021-2024)
Annual General Meeting
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 attend to participate in making high-level decisions. The AGM usually sees the presentation of outcomes and perspectives of TAREA work during the period since the last meeting. Furthermore, at the AGM, the Secretariat 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 Advisory Committee. These committees are supervising and steer TAREA's actual activities throughout the year.
Responsibilities
- Election of Executive Committee and Chairperson of the Technical Committee

- Alternate and renew membership fees and other duties.
Executive Committee
The Executive Committee (EC) is the superior institution for all TAREA activities. The board is meeting once in three months. The authority and responsibility for managing the affairs of the Association in conformity
