Governance
The Board of Trustees of the Environic Foundation International is comprised of immensely talented individuals, assisted by a diverse, international Board of Advisors—each helping to ensure we achieve our mission to develop educational programs that empower the transition to more sustainable societies.
Board of Trustees
Composed of not less than three nor more than twenty-five members, the Board is a group of leaders who bring a variety of talents, experiences and expertise to the governance of the Environic Foundation International. The Board holds ultimate legal and fiduciary responsibility for the foundation’s operations.
The work of the Board is primarily done through committees, with committees making recommendation to the full Board for approval. Strategic issues (such as program direction, marketing, philanthropy, and policy) are managed by the full Board.
Day-to-day operations and decisions are delegated by the Board to the President.
