The Board of the Student Forum acts as the governing and organizing body in the Student Forum. The annually elected board members take responsibility for the daily business of the association, the ongoing development of the forum, the planning of the association meetings and conferences, the supervision of the projects and the contact with the officers of the Tönissteiner Kreis and its headquarters.
The diversity officers, also elected annually, deal with issues of equal participation and the well-being of all members in the life of the association. In doing so, they support the Executive Board in the application process, external and internal procedures, and their own actions to strengthen diversity within the association. In addition, they are always available as direct contacts for feedback to all members.
The diversity officers welcome questions and suggestions at any time (see below for contact).
