<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During 2020, the CSAA Executive undertook a major review of the CSAA constitution, organisational structure, record keeping and financial systems. This was the first time this material had been updated
since the inception of the CSAA twenty years ago, so an overhaul was definitely due! </span></p>
