Structure
The Association of South Tyrolean Mountain Guides is composed of six elements:
The association has a steering committee formed by eight members. This committee elects the chairman of the association as well as the technical commission in charge of organizing the courses and establishing their content. Additionally, the committee oversees the code of good practice of its members, implements the decisions of the general assembly and establishes relationships with other mountain guide associations at the national and international (IFMGA) level. The committee also cooperates with regional authorities and produces expert opinions. Last but not least, the committee promotes the importance of safety in all mountain-related activities.
