Dualism in Membership Representation at IKKA Grand Conference: Structural Adaptation of Community Organizations
Main Article Content
Abstract
Community organizations served as crucial channels for public participation and democratic governance in contemporary society. The Kacang Family Association (IKKA), established on March 14, 2020, in Solok City, West Sumatra, encountered a unique challenge regarding participant legitimacy for its 2025 Grand Conference. Among thirteen registered branches, four had not conducted Branch Conferences despite expired terms of office. This study examined the juridical aspects of participant validity in IKKA's 2025 Grand Conference based on organizational statutes. A normative juridical approach with qualitative methodology was employed to analyze this phenomenon. Data collection involved in-depth interviews with twelve key informants, document analysis of organizational statutes, conference minutes, and policy decisions. The findings revealed significant gaps between normative provisions and field practices regarding participation of non-compliant branches. Structural adaptation was implemented through Article 7(1)(d) concerning "special invitations" and Article 12 regarding governance flexibility. Results demonstrated substantial improvements: member participation increased from 45% to 80%, coordination effectiveness rose from 58% to 100%, and organizational legitimacy strengthened from 72% to 95%. The study concluded that while non-compliance contradicted organizational statutes, the implemented structural adaptation successfully balanced formal requirements with membership realities, creating an innovative governance model for similar community-based organizations.
