The Coordinadora de Ball de Bastons de Catalunya

Stick Dance Coordinating Committee structure

The Governing Organs of the Committee are made up of a Governing Board and the General Assembly of the Caps de Colla or the representatives of each Stick Dance group.

The Governing Board consists of the President, the Vice President, the Secretary, the Treasurer and the members of the Governing Board, who represent the Stick Dances' interests.
Once a year in a different town, the Presidents of the Stick Dances groups, who are generally responsible for the yearly Catalan Stick Dance Meeting, summon one to two ordinary general meetings. The Governing Board drafts a memorandum outlining the work done during the previous year, and announces the events to take place in that year. The host Stick Dance group makes the events of the Catalan Stick Dance Meeting public. General meetings have been occasionally summoned, both ordinary (to discuss very specific subjects) and extraordinary (to change the Governing Board or to modify the Stick Dance Coordinating Committee’s memorandum).

On the ordinary general meeting held in Barcelona on the 11th May 2008, the Stick Dance Coordinating Committee structure (traditionally divided into four administrative departments) changed to seven administrative departments in order to be accessible to all Stick Dance groups, namely:
Comarques Meridionals, Penedès, Regió de Barcelona, Catalunya Central, Vallès, Terres de Ponent and Comarques Gironines;
Besides, the Stick Dance groups from la Franja de Ponent, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands and Northern Catalonia were all assimilated by the the Stick Dance Coordinating Committee.
