Kvarken Council EGTC’s working committees
The Kvarken Council’s board can appoint necessary committees within the framework of the Kvarken Council’s activities. The working committees must, within their respective work areas, be responsible for the preparatory work that the Kvarken Council’s board needs. The chairman and vice-chairman of the committees are appointed by the board.
The working committees carry out concrete activities and initiatives that contribute to regional development. Their work ensures that collaboration continues even when there are no active projects bringing the stakeholders together. Establishing working committees is a concrete example of how we implement our organisation form, the EGTC. These working methods strengths are a strong commitment from the board in the everyday work, as well as the fact that you can invite private actors and non-members to participate in the working committees.
