Board of Directors
The Board of Directors is responsible for taking all measures necessary to achieve the objectives for which the Cusanus Academy was established.
By 31 December of each year, the Board prepares the annual financial statements and the budget proposal and submits them, together with a report, to the Diocesan Ordinary.
In accordance with the Statutes, the Board serves a five-year term and remains in office until a new Board has been appointed. The current term runs from 2023 to 2027.
The Board is composed of qualified members who contribute their expertise and experience to the strategic direction and ongoing development of the Cusanus Academy. In regular meetings, the Board discusses key matters such as educational planning, budgeting, quality development, and structural and organisational issues. In doing so, it is guided by the core values and educational mission of the Cusanus Academy.
