Governance
Diversity is the corner stone of a healthy and sustainable ecosystem. Therefore our member base is composed of all different mentalities, ages and agenda’s in society. Discover how this is reflected in our General Assembly and Board of Directors.
General Assembly
Our action plan, annual account and overall budget are presented, discussed and decided upon during the annual General Assembly. All our member organisations have a single voting right at this General Assembly, which draws on the framework of The Shift’s mission, vision and operational strategy.
Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is similarly composed to represent the different layers of our society: young and old, male and female, French and Dutch, corporate and civil society, local and international. Each of the following members contributes his or her experience to help our community in making ‘the shift’:
