Executive Management Team

The Executive Management Team is chaired by the CEO and comprises other senior management that have been appointed by the Foundation’s Board. The Executive Management Team meets regularly to address matters concerning the Foundation.

 

The Executive Management Team is not a decision-making body but assists the CEO in implementing the Foundation’s strategy and operational management. It is responsible for managing the Foundation’s core operations as a whole, which requires planning of various development processes, principles and practices, as well as monitoring the development of financial matters and business plans. The Executive Management Team convenes monthly, and minutes are kept of the meetings. The Board have approved the Charter of the Executive Management Team.
