There are four types of members: Churches, children&#8217;s and youth organizations, joint initiatives, and associate organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, no individuals are members in the BCC Federation, but individuals become members of a local church. At the Annual General Meetings of the local churches, members can influence decisions, such as the election of representatives to the Assembly of Representatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button arrow_right_alt\" href=\"https:\/\/bcc.no\/en\/organization\/leadership\/\" rel=\"\">Read more about the leadership<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"organer-og-myndighet\">Organization chart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>See an explanation in the boxes.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<!-- wp:group {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"constrained\"},\"editorskit\":{\"mobile\":false,\"tablet\":false,\"devices\":false,\"loggedin\":true,\"loggedout\":true,\"acf_visibility\":\"\",\"acf_field\":\"\",\"acf_condition\":\"\",\"acf_value\":\"\",\"migrated\":false,\"unit_test\":false}} --><div class=\"wp-block-group editorskit-no-tablet editorskit-no-mobile\"><!-- wp:html {\"editorskit\":{\"mobile\":true,\"tablet\":true,\"devices\":false,\"desktop\":true,\"loggedin\":true,\"loggedout\":true,\"acf_visibility\":\"\",\"acf_field\":\"\",\"acf_condition\":\"\",\"acf_value\":\"\",\"migrated\":false,\"unit_test\":false}} --><iframe style=\"width: 100%; border:3px white\" src=\"https:\/\/organisasjonskart.bcc.no\/en\" height=\"675\" title=\"BCC EN\" id=\"organisasjonskart\"><\/iframe><!-- \/wp:html --><\/div><!-- \/wp:group --><!-- wp:group {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"constrained\"},\"editorskit\":{\"desktop\":false,\"devices\":false,\"tablet\":true,\"mobile\":true,\"loggedin\":true,\"loggedout\":true,\"acf_visibility\":\"\",\"acf_field\":\"\",\"acf_condition\":\"\",\"acf_value\":\"\",\"migrated\":false,\"unit_test\":false}} --><div class=\"wp-block-group editorskit-no-desktop\"><!-- wp:html {\"editorskit\":{\"desktop\":true,\"devices\":false,\"mobile\":true,\"loggedin\":true,\"loggedout\":true,\"acf_visibility\":\"\",\"acf_field\":\"\",\"acf_condition\":\"\",\"acf_value\":\"\",\"migrated\":false,\"unit_test\":false}} --><iframe style=\"width: 100%; border:3px white\" src=\"https:\/\/organisasjonskart.bcc.no\/en\" height=\"500\" title=\"BCC EN\" id=\"organisasjonskart\"><\/iframe><!-- \/wp:html --><\/div><!-- \/wp:group -->\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\"><a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/2025-01-30_BCC_organisasjonskart_NO.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the organization chart<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"forbundet-konstitueres\">Business plans as a management tool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each joint initiative prepares an annual business plan that describes the activities that the organization is planning for the coming year, what they cost and how they will be financed.
