Governing Board
The Governing Board is made up of 9 elected Trustees. Together with the Secretary General, the Governing Board sets the strategic direction and oversees the good governance of CISV International. Among other responsibilities, this includes supporting and evaluating the Secretary General and safeguarding our assets. The Governing Board reports to the Members of CISV International, our National Associations.
Meetings
The Governing Board generally meets between 8-10 times per year. Most meetings last 3-4 hours and are virtual. There are 1-2 in-person meetings annually, lasting for 3 days each. These are usually held in the UK. Additionally, 1-2 Trustees attend each of the three regional CISV meetings, and one Trustee sometimes attends the International Junior Branch Conference.
Minutes from all Governing Board Meetings are available here. You can see details of the Committees of the Governing Board below. Get in touch: contact the Governing Board.
