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 for the 2008-2009 term 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.

Ombudsman JeanYves
The ombudsman is a person who mediates between BV members in case of conflict or complaints, and who reports back to the BoD so that potentially problematic situations can be avoided or solved. Currently, the role is considered by some as a hallmark of an ethical organization and a key component of an integrated dispute resolution system.
