Governing documents

Every two years, members convene for a general assembly to vote on Alliance bylaws and elect the Alliance Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is tasked with governing the Alliance in-between general assemblies.

The Alliance is a member organization governed by its bylaws and overseen by a Board of Directors who are elected from among member organizations.

The Alliance has set up entities to allow the necessary support and to fulfill the Alliance Strategic Plan.

Specifically, we are organized as:

• A Swiss Association under Swiss Civil Code – non-profit and tax exempt
• A United States 501(c)(3) non-profit
• A Danish non-profit volunteer organization

Find here the policies, bylaws, and board documentation that govern how we operate.
