Assembly of European Regions

Connecting regions, inspiring Europe since 1985

You are here: Home / Governance & Structure / AER Executive Board

AER Executive Board

The Executive Board manages the coordination of all AER activities and charges the Secretary General to implement its decisions. Between assemblies, it is the highest authority of AER.

The President(s) of the AER Programmes are adjunct of the Board on a strictly personal basis, reporting on the activities of their respective body.

By delegation, the Executive Board is authorised to meet and to make decisions in accordance with the association’s statutory objectives or useful to its smooth running. Decisions made in this way are submitted to the General Assembly.
