Remuneration Policy

The board members receive no remuneration for their work as board members. This follows Article 3, paragraph 5 of the foundation's statutes, which provides that no remuneration is paid to the board members for their work, nor are costs incurred by them reimbursed. The board members serve on a voluntary basis.

The property of the foundation serves to pursue its objects. As set out in Article 3, paragraph 4, no person, whether an individual or a legal entity, can dispose of the foundation's funds as if these were their own. The foundation does not pursue a profit.

A board member may, on occasion, be engaged for work that is separate from the duties of the board, where that work requires his professional expertise for a specific programme of the foundation. Such work is agreed in a written service agreement and is paid at rates in keeping with the Fair Practice Code and the guidelines of the Kunstenbond. Where a board member has a direct or indirect personal interest in such an engagement, he informs the board and does not take part in the deliberation or the decision, in accordance with Article 5, paragraphs 9 and 10. The engagement is recorded in the annual financial statements.

This policy is reviewed each year by the board.

Board Governance

The board of Marsa Stichting consists of:

Marsa Foundation's accounts and assets are supervised by at least two of three Executive Directors at all times. Financial accounts are reviewed and signed by the full board annually.
