Executive Board
The Executive Board of the Foundation for Safety in Skiing guides the Foundation’s strategic decisions. It defines the Foundation’s key areas of focus, decides on funding measures, and ensures that the Foundation’s goals—in particular, the promotion of safety and prevention in skiing—are effectively implemented.
