THE SUPREME AUTHORITY IN GLOBAL FOCUS

The General Assembly serves as Global Focus' highest authority. During this assembly, members determine the overall organisational and strategic framework for Global Focus' work. They also decide on the political and strategic framework for professional and political efforts, including the overall work plans. All Danish civil society organisations that share Global Focus' vision and mission and have core activities in development, environment, and humanitarian work, can participate in the general meeting. However, only paying members of Global Focus have the right to vote.

The general assembly meeting takes place once a year towards the end of the year.

GLOBAL FOCUS’ POLITICAL MANAGEMENT

The political leadership of Global Focus is the Members of the Board, which consist of 15 members and up to two alternates, elected at the annual general assembly meeting. The Board meets five times a year.
