Structure

The ANUC was legally registered and became a legal person in December 1995. It is a non-governmental and non-profit Romanian organization, operating under the provisions of the Law No. 21/1924.

The organizational structure of ANUC is similar to other umbrella organisations in Europe, special created for improving the dialog between professional artists and decision makers and administrators, at national and international level, between their own association forms and between them and similar structures at international level.

ANUC is opened for other professional artists’ organizations in Romania. According to the Status of National Alliance of Creators’ Unions, "this can be done in respect of the present Status and by unanimous vote of the member unions".

All decisions regarding the ANUC’s function are taken by common consent by the Board, constituted by the presidents and vice-presidents of the member unions. The Executive Chairman of ANUC is elected from the presidents or the vice-presidents of the member unions, by rotation, every twelve months.
