ARM is run by a Board of Directors comprising 7–13 members with a regional balance and balanced representation of the major interest groups including small-scale miners, organisations and individuals involved in providing producer support and traders. Its main role includes formulating high-level policies and strategies, offering advice on market, supply, public policy, and mining issues, representing ARM in public and ensuring ARM is properly financed and resourced.

The Chair is elected among the members of the Board of Directors. Its role is to preside over Board meetings, provide overall leadership, and serve as ambassador to the organization.

The Executive Director is the CEO in charge of the general coordination of the organization and its units, liaising between the technical committees and the stakeholder alliance and the Board of Directors.

The Executive Committee is comprised of three members of the Board of Directors, who shall never replace the board on strategic decisions, but may act on behalf of the Board on everyday issues to support the Executive Director or the Chair in specific activities.

The Stakeholder Alliance(SA) is comprised by stakeholders from any part of the supply chain, committed to ARM’s mission, values and objectives and interested in being engaged with ARM’s strategies, processes and standards. Members of the stakeholder alliance can nominate and be elected as Board Members.  They may also recommend members for the technical committees.

ARM is committed to transparency and accountability. Our Conflict of Interest Policy is available to download.
