The World Board’s governance role is to maintain high-level strategic oversight of WAGGGS and ensure WAGGGS is meeting its legal accounting and reporting requirements. The members of the World Board are encouraged to ask questions to ensure understanding and that sufficient information is provided to enable effective/informed decision-making.
The World Board has delegated the day-to-day operations, leadership and administration of the organisation to the Chief Executive. Therefore, whilst World Board members are kept informed and up to date about the organisation’s operations, their role remains at a strategic level and they are not involved in the day-to-day operations of the organisation.
