Leiderschap &
Bestuur

As a charity operating in 20 countries, Movember complies with a range of regulatory and governance obligations. We take these responsibilities very seriously and are committed to best practice levels of transparency, accountability and governance.

Ons Handvest en Bestuurlijk Beleid (PDF) (alleen in het Engels).
​Deze is van toepassing op zowel de Movember Foundation als Movember Europe.

Leadership and governance structure

Movember is governed by a Board of Directors, who delegate part of their work to specialised committees to ensure that the organisation holds itself to the highest standards.

Raad van bestuur van de Foundation

De rol van het bestuur is om ervoor te zorgen dat Movember voldoet aan de hoogste eisen wat betreft prestaties, bestuur, verantwoording, transparantie en de verhouding onkosten-fondsenwerving. Het bestuur beoordeelt jaarlijks het functioneren van de CEO en de Uitvoerend directeur Programmes. Ons bestuur is samengesteld op basis van vaardigheden. Ieder bestuurslid brengt een breed scala aan expertise en ervaring met zich mee.

Geen van de bestuursleden ontvangt betaling voor zijn of haar werk. Dit omdat Movember administratieve kosten tot een minimum wil beperken. De hieronder genoemde mondiale bestuursleden hebben tevens zitting (in dezelfde samenstelling) in het bestuur van Movember Europe.
