MHE decision-making bodies reflect the diversity in the organization’s membership. The Board, Executive Committee and President are elected every 3 years. Together with the General Assembly (GA), they form the pillars of the organization and guarantee its democratic decision-making process. The GA is the highest authority and is responsible for formulating the organization’s policy. The Board is the body elected by the GA to develop a strategy for implementing the organization’s policy, while the Executive Committee is elected by the Board and is responsible for the daily management and for supervising the work of the Secretariat.
MHE also has several Committees and Task Forces set up to support the work in specific policy areas or concerning particular topics. The Secretariat is also supported by Senior Policy Advisers, who are specialists in their particular policy areas.
