The OAA is run by an Executive Committee (EC) made up of 14 members, eleven elected and the rest Ex Officio members. With the exception of the Executive Secretary who heads the Alumni Office, all EC members are voluntary workers. The Alumni Office, the nerve-center of the OAA, is run by three office and two support staff, and is housed in a Secretariat within the Staff Club House building on the School’s compound. The salaries of the staff are paid from the income generated from the dues agreed on at AGMs, sale of souvenirs, and voluntary donations. It is therefore imperative that all Akoras pay their dues to ensure that inter alia costs associated with running the Secretariat are met. In addition to this, to help meet other obligations, miscellaneous levies are imposed from time to time in accordance with the Association's Constitution. Dues for the year from 1990 to 1999 are GHC0.50 (five thousand cedis in old currency) per year, from 2000 to 2006, GHC5.00 (fifty thousand cedis in old currency) per year and from 2007 to date, GHC60.00 (six hundred thousand cedis in old currency) per year. The AGM of March 5th 2002 agreed that older Akoras as well as Akoras still in Institutions of learning, pay the sum of ¢20,000.00 (Two Gh cedis in the new currency) per annum as dues; older Akoras was defined as Year Groups prior to and including the 1945 Year Group. The coverage of this scheme is to be revised from time to time. The various Dues, Subscriptions and Levies may be paid in cash or by cheque in cedis, drawn on a bank in Ghana, at the OAA Secretariat, where a receipt covering the payment will be issued. Cheques should be made out to the Old Achimotan Association. Currently the Association does not have any facilities for electronic payments. We anticipate that in the future, a suitable arrangement will be put in place to facilitate the payment of dues by members for whom a trip to the Secretariat would be impractical. In the interim, payment may be made by crossed cheque and delivered by post. Disbursement of the Association's funds is done according to a budget approved by the EC. Day to day spending is controlled by the Association's Treasurer, who reports regularly to the EC, exercising general oversight on spending. The OAA’s accounts are audited annually and presented to the AGM for adoption. Copies of Audited Accounts will be made available on this Website as and when they become available.
