DSI introduces Supervisory Board

Studio Dijkgraaf-DSI event -68

The evolution of DSI’s governance model.

When DSI was established in 1999, a board was chosen in which the industry’s trade associations joined. These branches represented their constituencies on the board. In recent years DSI worked with a broad General Board with an independent chairman. From the General Board a Daily Board was formed. The Director was in charge of the daily management of the organization.

In 2023, the General Board decided to establish a Supervisory Board with a director-director. This model, now common in smaller foundations and associations, fits best with the renewed and downsized DSI. The trade associations involved will have a different role anchored in the new statutes.
