The New Children’s Hospital Foundation’s decisions are made by its Board, which is elected at the annual general meeting
The Board has six members, while the foundation’s advisory Council has nine members. Both the Board and the Council include a diverse range of representatives from different fields.
In addition to this, the foundation’s administration includes the Nominating Committee, which consists of two chosen representatives from both the Board and the Council. Regular meetings are held twice a year – in the autumn and spring. The highest decision-making body is the foundation’s regular annual meeting, which includes an annual review of the financial situation, the annual report and the achievement of the objectives set for the foundation’s operations. The Board is responsible for long-term strategy, significant financial decisions, the selection of new members and the appointment of an authorised representative. The support foundation’s operative project director/representative directs operations and supervises the implementation of the strategy with the support of the Board.
