The Board of Governors of the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) comprises 53 members appointed by the respective members of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). The Board reviews the Foundation’s strategy and policies, 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 European and the other Asian 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.
