The Board of Directors
Mission
The Board of Directors is the collegial instrument in charge of all questions concerning the running of the Foundation as well as finding solutions through deliberations. In order to achieve this, the Board can proceed with any controls and checks it considers necessary.
The Board elects a president, a treasurer and can require the assistance of other committees to help it manage projects under taken by the Foundation.
