The purpose of the association is to develop and operate Foreningen Expo Techno — a creative hub for young people and adults.

The association aims to:

• Create quality products to be sold through our Café/Food Truck, and quality events to be held for both new and existing members.
• Create creative environments with space and opportunity to inspire people to see themselves as creators.
• Give people concrete tools and opportunities to express their own creativity and that of others.
• Inspire people to apply their creativity in ever new contexts.
• Give people access to become part of the community that arises when we create something together.

3.1 Any person over the age of 18 with an interest in the association's purpose and activities who has paid their membership fee may become a member.

3.2 Membership is established upon payment of the membership fee, after which the member will receive their membership number, a welcome email and the association's statutes.

3.3 Membership ceases upon failure to pay the membership fee. The board sets the payment deadlines.

3.4 Membership may be revoked if a member damages the association's interests or reputation. The decision to expel must be adopted by a 2/3 majority of the board.

The general assembly sets the membership fee on an annual basis. The membership fee is collected annually and entitles the holder to participate in the association's activities in accordance with specific guidelines.

The general assembly is the highest authority in all matters concerning the association. All members pursuant to §3 have the right to attend and vote at the general assembly. One membership entitles one vote. The ordinary general assembly, held before 1 November, is convened by email and Facebook no later than 14 days before the meeting, with the agenda stated. The final agenda — if it differs from the one sent out — is distributed no later than 5 days before the meeting.

The agenda for the ordinary general assembly must as a minimum include the following:

• Election of chair and minute-taker.
• The board's report.
• Presentation of accounts.
• Presentation of budget, including setting of membership fee.
• Election of three to five board members, and one to two deputies.
• Proposals received, including amendments to the statutes.
• Any other business.

Proposals to be addressed at the general assembly must reach the board no later than 14 days before the meeting. The board attaches all proposals as annexes to the notice of the general assembly.

An extraordinary general assembly may be convened by the board, and must be convened when at least 2/3 of the voting members request it. The notice must be given with at least 14 days' notice.

The association's board consists of three to five members. Decisions are made by a simple majority vote. In the event of a tie, the chairman's vote is decisive. The board constitutes itself with a chairman, vice-chairman and treasurer.

The association's financial year runs from 1 January to 31 December.

The association's treasurer presents the audited accounts at the ordinary general assembly.

The association is solely liable for its obligations with its own assets.

The association's chairman or vice-chairman together with a board member or treasurer are authorised to sign on behalf of the association.

A decision to amend the statutes or dissolve the association requires at least 2/3 of the votes cast. The dissolving general assembly decides on the use of any surplus, which must go to a cultural or public benefit purpose.
