How does the foundation work

The Board of Directors manages the Foundation. The Board consists of 14 volunteers. Twelve are elected annually by the foundation’s voting members, particularly those whose financial contribution has awarded them the title of “Governor”, “Lifetime Governor” or “Great Donor”. Two Directors are chosen and delegated by the LaSalle Borough Council.

To fill vacant positions, the Board has the power to name people that are not voting members.

At the time of the annual election, any outgoing member of the Board of Directors can present an eligible candidacy.

The Board of Directors meets at least six times a year. The administrators also sit on various committees and hold regular meetings. In order to accelerate the discussion process between administrators, frequent exchanges also occur by e-mail.
