United Netherlands (organization) - Organizational Structure

Organizational Structure

The United Netherlands Foundation is led by the Executive Board, including a President, a Vice President and Treasurer, and a Director of Public Relations and Sponsoring. The members of the Executive Board usually work together closely on organizational matters and long-term projects. The Executive Board is in charge of checking three different secretariats: the Junior Board of Studies, the Conference Secretariat and the HSP secretariat. Altogether these teams form the essence of the United Netherlands organization.

The Junior Board of Studies (JBoS) is in charge of the UNMD course and its reputable delegation. It consists of two Head Delegates and one MUN Trainer. Members of the JBoS traditionally originate from previous United Netherlands delegations. The JBoS is assisted and supervised by the Senior Board of Studies, made up of several university professors concerned with international relations and all other related fields of study.

Several external Boards are concerned with the overall development and management of all of the active components within the United Netherlands framework. The Executive Board communicates with the Supervisory Board, which is in charge of formally assisting United Netherlands in its general development now and in the future. Furthermore an Advisory Board has been put in place to provide support and insight if necessary. Finally, United Netherlands is officially supported by its Board of Recommendation, formed by respected members Ruud Lubbers, Wim Kok, Dries van Agt, Thom de Graaf, Cees Blom and Bas Kortmann, current Rector Magnificus of the Radboud University.
