The econsense Executive Board

The Executive Board is responsible for econsense’s strategic direction as well as for cooperation with the business community, political circles, civil society, and the media. The members of the Executive Board are usually also part of the Steering Committee, econsense’s central governing body, and are elected from this group at the General Assembly.

The Executive Board and the Steering Committee jointly determine the key areas of focus and the further development of econsense in regular meetings.
