BOTH ENDS BOARD

The Both ENDS Board monitors financial matters, oversees the general administration, operation and implementation of the organisation’s work, and critically scrutinises the organisation’s work methods. Board members offer guidance where and when necessary.

Their advisory expertise on initiatives, legal questions, accounting, management and other strategic issues strengthens the organisation’s foundation. The Board regularly evaluates its own activities and adjusts these where necessary. The Board members do not receive any remuneration for serving on the Board. The Board meets four times a year. Board members receive all relevant information on the organisation’s financial status, the progress in reaching our goals and any other developments by means of a quarterly report provided by the management.

Each Board member is appointed for a period of four years, which may be extended to a maximum of eight years. The Board appoints a chair, a Secretary and a Treasurer from among its members. When there is a vacancy for a position on the Board, Both ENDS’s management will draw up a list of possible candidates together with the Board, from which they will eventually elect one.

The Board appoints the organisation’s Director, reviews and evaluates the Director’s accomplishments, and conducts an appraisal interview with the Director at least once a year.

The same Board members serve on the Boards of both the Both ENDS Foundation and the Joke Waller-Hunter Initiative Foundation. The joint foundations publish one consolidated annual account.
