Our team

The General Assembly consists of honorary members. They usually meet once a year and decide on amendments to the Articles of Association and the mission statement as well as on issues of fundamental importance. The members' duties also include appointing and discharging members of the Supervisory and Executive Board, as well as appointing an auditor.

The four honorary members of the Supervisory Board lead the association strategically and exercise a control function over the Executive Board. In addition, they receive the annual report of the auditor.

The full-time Executive Board manages the business based on the Articles of Association and the resolutions of the General Assembly and the Supervisory Board. It is composed of the Chairperson and Vice Chairperson.
