The Council of Management
The TMA is run by the Council of Management, elected from and by the Association's membership. The Council represents the interests of all sectors of the commercial and subsidised performing arts industry.
The Council meets at least four times a year. The meetings are chaired by the President of the Association.
The President, who is elected from the membership of the Council of Management, serves for a term of three years. The Association also has two Vice-Presidents, one elected for a term of three years, concurrent with the term of the President, and one who is the immediate Past-President and who serves for a term of one year immediately following their Presidency.
Elections for the Council of Management are held annually.
The Council employs a team of professional staff, led by the Chief Executive, who are responsible for the day to day conduct of the Association's business and who provide the services for members of the Association.
