Why do we need delegates in the BoD?
The delegates represent specific areas within the Board of Directors. Some of them are officially required (Executive, Secretary, Treasurer) and the Vice positions support the delegates with specific tasks and general backup. An organisation like BeVolunteer changes fast and some tasks will become more important in the next years. Every year the new elected board of directors will evaluate the delegate positions and change them if necessary. Read more about the board of directors in the official statutes.
The tasks in detail
Executive (Frank)
The Executive Delegate holds the power of representation and signature in the name of the association, represents the association in all the acts of civil or administrative life, and in justice, if necessary. The Executive Delegate represents the executive organ of the association (BoD), and so can not take a decision without the validation of the BoD. In case of temporary or permanent incapacity, the Executive delegate is temporarily replaced by a vice-Executive delegate, or the Secretary Delegate, who in this case holds the same powers, until the BoD names a new Executive Delegate.
Keywords:
- legal representative of the organisation
- official spokesperson of the organisation
Vice Executive (Florian)
The vice executive acts as a link between the communication team (which might focus on internal communication and media relations) and the executive tasks of officially representing the organisation. He also helps with public relations, i.e. opinion scanning and acting as contact person for other organisations and institutions. In addition, the vice executive may also assist with every day tasks of executive delegate. He is NOT acting as executive in case the executive delegate resigns or is unavailable, in this case the Secretary delegate has the legal and official obligation to represent the organisation.
