Board of Trustees

The honorary Board of Trustees advises the Welthungerhilfe Supervisory Board and Board of Directors on questions relating to public relations work, publicity and policy/positioning.

It supports Welthungerhilfe's networks such as circles of friends or business partners and establishes new contacts to individuals, companies, institutions and networks which promote Welthungerhilfe's concerns by profiling it in society at large or through financial contributions and access to public and private funds.
