The Board

The Board of our organization consists of at least five members and is elected at the Annual General Meeting for the duration of one year. The Board organizes the Annual General Meeting, defines bylaws, petitions, regulations, and is responsible for the management of the office and the safeguarding of the interests of the WIDE Switzerland platform. The Board provides for a mutual exchange of information and the debate within WIDE Switzerland and is concerned with the platform’s networking. The Board comments on topical issues and is committed to securing the broad-based support of WIDE Switzerland in collaboration with the project groups.

Current Members of the Board:

Simona Isler (Historikerin), Theres Blöchlinger (Dr. med, Frauenambi Zürich), Karin Roth (student), Therese Wüthrich (Redaktion widerspruch), Heike Wach (Ökotrophologin und Genderberaterin MA), Doris Schumacher (Geschäftsstelle WIDE Switzerland).

The Office

Beside daily business and the organization of the Coordination Group, the responsibilities of the Office encompass the coordination of activities with WIDE+ and public relations in particular.

The Project Teams

The WIDE Switzerland network is loosely organized in small project teams. This facilitates collaboration and allows flexible and fast action. The project teams are authorized to publicly comment topical debates on their own authority.
