A ‘Practical Guide for an Effective Board of Trustees, leading foundations in the 21st century’ was presented on April 10 at the auditorium of La Pedrera. The guide was developed by the Catalan Coordinator of Foundations, of which we are a member. It is a helpful publication that tackles important issues affecting over 2,000 active foundations in the country, focusing on governance and the legal responsibilities that come with being a patron.
