Board of Trustees

The foundation board determines the strategic goals of the organization and is the highest management body. According to the statutes, the insieme Schaffhausen association elects three and the government council of the canton of Schaffhausen four members of the foundation board. Our managing director Alain Thomann reports directly to the president of the foundation board Jeanette Storrer. Foundation Board meetings are held regularly, usually three to four times a year. The electoral authority as well as the vested interests of the individual foundation board members are listed under the portrait photos.

A "goal" is something that a person desires and wants to achieve. A goal can be a place. But a goal can also be that a person wants to be able to do something.
"Strategic" means: We plan well in advance what goals we want to achieve. And we think about what we have to do to achieve the goals.
A "governing body" is a group of people who manage a task or project.
