Stewards and Representation Clause Samples
The "Stewards and Representation" clause defines the roles and responsibilities of individuals or groups designated to act on behalf of others within an organization or agreement. Typically, this clause outlines how stewards are selected, their authority to represent members in discussions or negotiations, and the scope of their decision-making power. By clearly establishing who can act as a representative and under what circumstances, the clause ensures effective communication, protects the interests of those represented, and prevents disputes over unauthorized actions or misrepresentation.
