According to the association’s bylaws, Geres Board of Directors may comprise between 8 and 18 voluntary members elected at the annual general meeting for a four-year term of office. It ensures that the association’s mandate and values are respected. It helps to determine overall strategy, recruits senior management, which is responsible for the smooth running of the organization, and validates the major orientations put forward by the executive team.<\/p>\n

The Board of Directors pays particular attention to the quality of operations and the safety of staff. It validates budgets and signs off the annual accounts. The Board meets four times a year, while an annual general meeting is held halfway through the year. Within the framework of its IDEAS label, Geres also has an audit committee including one or more external personalities able to take a more distanced view and, where necessary, issue warnings with regard to risk anticipation and management.<\/p>\n

As President of Geres, Marie-No\u00eblle Reboulet works in close co-operation with the Executive Director, Laurence Tommasino.<\/p>\n

Based in Aubagne, France, the HQ teams support the field work carried out in Europe-Mediterranean, West Africa, Central Asia and South-East Asia. In the field, Geres is organized around regional offices responsible for developing and ensuring the quality of activities in their respective geographical areas. In country, the permanent teams, made up of local staff and a few expatriates, very often work in close co-operation with the teams of partner organizations. A cross-cutting expertise unit is available to support the various activities according to the needs identified by the project teams. It also provides services to third parties.<\/p>\n

The management committee comprises senior management and the management of the Human Resources, Administration & Finance and Mobilization departments from HQ, regional management and the management of the expertise unit. It takes part directly in determining overall strategy and preparing proposals for submission to the Board of Directors. Working collaboratively, it takes management decisions affecting the organization as a whole. Senior management is accountable to the Board of Directors for these decisions.<\/p>\n
