Governance Hierarchy & Leadership
Structured under the Trade Organizations Act 2013 and SRO 1057(I)/2023 rules. Clear distinction between elected statutory office-bearers, full-time administrative secretariat, and non-statutory honorary advisory designations.
Honorary titles (such as Patron-in-Chief, Chief Patron, or Chairman Emeritus) do not create government authority. Titles such as “Federal Chairman”, “Government Coal Authority” or “Federal Coal Commissioner” are strictly prohibited unless there is an actual statutory government gazette appointment.
