The Coordination Committee
An essential part of KVCV is the Coordination Committee. Members of the Coordination Committee are: alle members of the Board of Directors and the representatives of all KVCV divisions (as a chairman or delegate). The Coordination Committee meets 2 to 3 times a year and is responsible for the proper coordination in the overall functioning of the association. The Coordination Committee is chaired by the President of the society. The meetings of the Coordination Committee are a unique opportunity for the representatives of the divisions to meet and organize activities together.
The General Assembly
The General Assembly meets at least once a year. The members of the Board of Directors and the chairs of the divisions receive a personal invitation.
During the General Assembly, an overview of the activities that took place during the past year is given, the Treasurer-General reports on the financial situation of the society and proposes the budget planning for the next year. The members present can ask questions.
Whenever a new President and/or Board of Directors needs to be elected, this happens during the General Assembly.
KVCV-divisions
In the overall operation of the KVCV, the divisions play a crucial role. They were established at different points in time in the more than 80 year history of the KVCV, and they began to organise all kinds of activities.
The divisions organisze seminars, congresses, ... about a specific chemical topic. These topics range from the use of a new technique, rules and regulations in the discipline in question, to lectures by leading specialists.

Operation of divisions
The proper functioning of a divisions is defined by its working group, a group of volunteers who meets regularly and organizes activities. Depending on certain seminars, sometimes smaller working groups are formed by those who feel more involved in the subject matter and have the necessary contacts at national and international level to attract specialists. These smaller working groups report back to the full group.
Many of these groups have become groups of friends, which makes cooperation even more pleasant and easier.
