Interim Executive Committee
As a network of peer organizations, GGBN is governed by an Interim Executive Committee comprised of volunteers who are selected by and represent GGBN members. The Interim Executive Committee oversees the pursuit of goals, priorities and activities proposed by GGBN members. The Interim Executive Committee will focus this effort by identifying key agendas, directing work, sharing information, raising funds, and monitoring outcomes, along with guiding the network as it makes its transition from a concept in 2011 to a formalized member-driven organization in 2016. The Interim Executive Committee reviews prospective members using GGBN membership and member responsibilities. More information can be found in theGGBN working Terms of Reference
