Board of Governors (1 March 2013 - 31 January 2014)
ASEF Governors, ASEF Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director
at the 30th ASEF Board of Governors' Meeting in November 2013, in Singapore
The Board of Governors of the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) comprises 51 members appointed by the respective member countries and organisations of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM).
The Board reviews the organisation's strategy and projects, ensuring their adherence to ASEM's principles and priorities. At the same time,
it oversees ASEF's finances and budgeting, and approves its activity portfolio. The Board members elect a new Chair and Vice-Chair on an annual basis and appoint a new Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director every four years. In both cases, one is Asian and the other European to ensure a balanced representation.
The Board also comprises an Executive Committee (ExCo) and a Finance & Administration Committee (FAC), each with an equal Asian and European membership.
