Conducting the general meeting
As a rule, the chairperson presides over the general meeting. For individual agenda items, however, other members of the committee may also take the lead, especially if motions submitted by the chairperson are discussed. For large associations and complex processes, an experienced moderator from outside the association can be entrusted with this task. For many associations the standard practice is to elect a different chairman for each general meeting.
