Our Board Of Governors
DESECE is governed by a Board of Directors composed of 7 members. According to DESECE constitution the governance structure has three levels:
Annual General meeting (AGM) acts as supreme organ consisting of the DESECE beneficiaries, and who appoint the Board of Directors.
Board of Directors: The statutes provide for a board representing various interests in the community.
