Board

International Board

The International Board is responsible for the strategic management of PeaceWomen Across the Globe and works closely with the International Secretariat on this area. The board meets once a year to discuss key topics and strategic planning and to make decisions on these issues. As all of the board members are experts in promoting peace and women and/or gender equality, the annual board meeting also provides an opportunity for them to share their experience and knowledge.

The Swiss Committee, which comprises the board members who live in Switzerland, meets with the director of the International Secretariat each quarter to discuss organizational matters and to make decisions on matters affecting the current year.
