Governance

Gabrijela_Medunic_Orlic

Sunce is a civil society organization (CSO) that operates under the NGO Act and the Statute. As such, it has no owner but belongs to all its members.

The bodies of the Association:
 
1. Assembly
2. Managing Board
3. President of the Managing Board
4. Executive Director.

The Assembly is the highest governing body of the Association Sunce, and it is made up of all active members of the Association who thus participate in the running of the organization. At meetings of the Assembly, it is decided on the members of the Board, changes in the Statute of Association, the financial statements and reports on the work, and other organizational and statutory changes in Sunce.

The Managing Board is the highest governing body between two sessions of the Assembly. The Board implements the decisions of the Assembly, oversees the work and business, brings annual programs and decisions related to labor relations, appoints the executive director, and performs a number of other functions in accordance with the Statute.

The president of the Managing Board is also the president of the Association. The president represents Sunce in public, represents the association in property, legal, and financial issues, and performs other tasks determined by the Managing Board. The president is elected among the members of the Managing Board, by the members themselves.

The Executive Director is elected by the competition for a duration of four years and, by its mandate, is responsible for the execution of the Strategic Plan of Sunce and other plans and programs, as well as the implementation of the decisions of the Board and the Assembly in accordance with the Statute.
