Good Governance

The non-executives in the board monitor activities, determine budgets and annual plans every four months. On a yearly basis they review the results and the financial statements. In Stichting Women on Wings, Indian and Dutch board members are united. Jointly they bring huge knowledge of both the Indian and Dutch key principles of Good Governance which include Supervision and Control Management of Risks and Transparency and Benchmarking. Here you can meet all members of the board.
