Board of Trustees

The Foundation Board defines the strategic goals of the organization and is the highest management body. In accordance with the statutes, the insieme Schaffhausen association elects three members of the Board of Trustees and the Government Council of the Canton of Schaffhausen elects four. Our Managing Director Alain Thomann reports directly to the President of the Board of Trustees, Jeanette Storrer. Meetings of the Board of Trustees are held regularly, usually three to four times a year. The electoral authority and the vested interests of the individual members of the Board of Trustees are listed under the portrait photos.
