Governance

Structural organization (last updated May 5, 2024)

 


The Board of Directors oversees the entire operation and sets the strategic direction for Biosafety Now.

 

Responsibilities include:

  • Governance: Ensuring adherence to legal and ethical standards.
  • Strategic Planning: Establishing long-term goals and policies.
  • Financial Oversight: Managing the organization’s finances, including budgeting and financial planning, and fundraising

  • Consultation: Advising on strategic choices and specific projects.
  • Expertise Sharing: Providing specialized knowledge and skills.
  • Advocacy: Representing and promoting the organization’s mission in the community.
  • Content Development: Creating materials for the website, newsletters, or social media, or hosting or participating in related activities.
