Board & Management
The Board is composed of:
- Frank Candel, Chairman of the Board
- Vacancy, Board Member
Decisions within the board are reached through consensus. In the event of tied votes, matters can be escalated to the Supervisory Board. Direct involvement in the management of employees by board members is restricted and is primarily related to the board members themselves and the board secretary.
The board operates within designated focus areas, each assigned to specific members following mandates set by the board. These focus areas are established from three key perspectives:
- External positioning versus internal organisation
- Asylum and Integration Services
- Hierarchical direction of Directors and Board Secretary
The board chairman serves as the prominent figurehead of the Dutch Council for Refugees. In addition to overall responsibility, the chairman carries the accountability for external actions. The other director(s) primarily focus on internal organizational matters.
