Evaluation Supervisory Board

The board held its annual self-evaluation of the Chairman and the Board has a whole, for which all members filled out a set of questionnaires. The board was pleased with the diversity of experiences in their midst, yet would welcome additional expertise in relation to War Child’s core activities. New board members – Max Glaser and Rob Theunissen – are welcome additions to the board. The Board concluded that risk management (security, resources and reputation) will be given priority in 2014. Gerd Junne will not extend his term on the Board, who will commence a search for his replacement.

In the opinion of the Supervisory Board, the relationship between the Chairman of the Board and the Statutory Director of the organisation is sufficiently business-like and independent. Board meetings are well prepared and all documents are distributed in a timely manner. In order to improve the prioritisation of the discussions during meetings, in 2014 the board will meet without management for 30 minutes prior to their regular meetings and will aim to meet in two additional Board-only meetings throughout the year.
