Conservare Populus Veniens
The Board is the day-to-day management of the association. They hold the responsibility for everything that happens at the SIB. Every year a new Board is chosen for a full academic year. Each Board member has a specific function within the team. Some are full-time, some are part-time, but they all work at the Office at the Pelsterstraat 23 on the top floor. Committees and project groups assist the Board in organising activities.
The Advisory Council gives the current Board solicited and unsolicited advice and the Audit Committee oversees the financial health of the association. Several times per year the Board is held accountable for their actions during the General Members Assembly. This is the formal meeting where members can voice their opinion and reflect on the functioning of the association.
