Board, Council & Presidium

Governance that keeps decision-making close to the chapters it serves.

Board

The Board provides leadership and oversees DDN-GLOBAL’s overall direction. It guides the implementation of the organisation’s mission and objectives, promotes transparent governance and works with the Council and Presidium to strengthen the international network.

Council

The Council oversees DDN-GLOBAL’s Country Chapters, Secretariat, IT Department and Committees. Each Council Member supervises and supports a minimum of five Country Head Representatives, providing guidance and monitoring chapter development.

The Council monitors progress, ensures timely reporting, helps resolve challenges and follows up on agreed plans and decisions. It promotes cooperation, mutual respect and effective communication throughout the organisation.

Presidium

The Presidium prepares and coordinates Council meetings in cooperation with the Secretariat. It drafts agendas, gathers proposals and ensures that documents are shared in advance.

It supports constructive discussions and clear procedures, and coordinates the recording of decisions and follow-up of action points.

Governed by service, guided by members

Our leadership structure keeps decision-making close to the chapters it serves.
