The Board of Trustees is Asylos’ main decision-making body and legally responsible for the organisation, including its financial health. Our dedicated trustees were elected by our network to represent volunteers' interest or were recruited externally for their substantive and/or managerial expertise. Board membership is a voluntary, unpaid role and our board operates almost exclusively on a remote basis.
