ASEF Governors, ASEF Executive Director and ASEF Deputy Executive Director at the 33rd ASEF Board of Governors’ Meeting in December 2015 in Singapore.
The Board of Governors of the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) consists of 53 members appointed by the respective partners of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM). The Board reviews the Foundation’s strategy and policies, ensuring their adherence to ASEM’s principles and priorities. It also oversees ASEF’s finances and budgeting, and approves its activity portfolio. The Board members elect a new Chair and Vice-Chair on an annual basis and select a new Executive Director and Deputy Executive Director every 4 years. In both cases one is Asian and the other European to ensure a balanced representation of the two regions. The Board also comprises an Executive Committee (ExCo) and a Finance & Administration Committee (FAC), each with an equal Asian and European membership.
