MPO's work between the congresses is governed and executed by the Central Committee. A member of the Central Committee can be anyone who has been MPO's constant member for at least five years, and "has fruitfully served the Macedonian cause of freedom and independence" [43]. The Central Committee oversees the fulfillment of tasks related to the organization's final purpose. It presents MPO to all organizations and people that are factors in Macedonia's liberation movement, it keeps MPO's records and reports of its work on all five-year congresses. The Controlling commission checks the Central Committee's work at least twice a year and it also reports to the Congress [44].
MPO finances its activities by a collecting a membership fee (50 cents for men and 25 cents for women). Fees are collected each month. Each organization is obliged to send also half of the income from evening meetings, friendly gatherings, festive dinners, picnics, etc., as well as finances from gifts on different occasions. According to the chart, the Central Committee may also ask for voluntary charity gifts. MPO's funds are deposited with a trustworthy bank under the Central Committee's name. Necessary funds are drawn by at least two members of the Central Committee, one of which should be the Committee's cashier [45].

The essence and characteristic features of the new patriotic emigrant organization of Macedonian Bulgarians in the USA and Canada are exposed in the clearest way in the Chart of Macedonian Patriotic Organizations in the USA and Canada [38]. ....
Extremely important is the "note" to Article 28, saying "The use of concepts of
"Macedonians" and "Macedonian emigrants" in this chart are equally valid for
all ethnic groups in Macedonia -- Bulgarians, Rumanians, Turks, Albanians,
etc, and in this case they have geographic, rather than ethnographic, significance
[47].
