Management Group of the ESC 

The Management Group of the Board is composed of the President, the Immediate Past President, the President-Elect, the three Vice-Presidents, the Secretary/Treasurer and the 2 to 4 external independent advisors (defined article 8.1-3-c of ESC Statutes).

The roles and responsibilities of the Management Group are described in Article 9-2 of ESC Statutes. The Management Group advises the Board, prepares the Board’s agenda and discussions and oversees the implementation of the Board's decisions. In circumstances that require immediate action to avoid substantial damage, financial or otherwise, to the ESC, the Management Group may make decisions usually falling within the scope of Board responsibilities. The Management Group may confer the decision-making power to the President or the Secretary-Treasurer. The Board will be informed as soon as possible, and by any appropriate means, and will confirm such decisions(s) during its next meeting.
