Cooperation between the Executive Board and the Board of Trustees
The division of responsibilities between the Executive Board and the Board of Trustees is based on the model of a stock corporation: the Executive Board manages the foundation's business, while the Board of Trustees advises and supervises it. The joint foundation committee, which is composed of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Board, deals with fundamental issues relating to the foundation's strategic orientation.
