BOARD MEMBERS

The board of the Help a Star Foundation

In accordance with the statutes, the number of board members is set at a minimum of 3 persons, i.e. the chairman, secretary and treasurer.

The Help a Star organization consists of two foundations. One based in the United States and its counterpart in the Netherlands. Both sister foundations have their own separate board, but work closely together to realize the common ideals. This makes Help a Star very agile.
