Board of Directors

 

As stipulated in SLOCAT governance rules, the Board of Directors consists of 13 seats: 5 seats issued from the membership, 4 issued from the supporters of the SLOCAT Foundation and 4 filled by independent members. They are elected for a 3-year mandate and are re-eligible once. For the 2019-2022 mandate, elections were overseen by the stipulated Independent Election Committee and completed in July 2019. Chair and Treasurer were elected among Board member peers in October 2019 and the appointment of Independent Members was completed by end 2019.

 

This gender-, geographical- and background-balanced 2019-2022 Board of Directors brings together an extraordinary wealth of expertise across the transport and mobility, energy, climate and cities sectors. The Board supports, oversees and advances the work of the Partnership in the next three years, overlapping with the period for this first-ever multi-annual Strategic Development Plan.
