Clear governance.

In 2026, UGE adopted new statutes and an organisation that distinguishes decision-making bodies, executive management and operational responsibilities.

01 — Governing bodies

Who decides, who acts.

Supreme body

General Assembly

All members. It takes the major collective decisions and ratifies the internal rules.

Direction and oversight

Board of Directors

Sets the strategic direction and monitors management. Chaired by the founding president.

Day-to-day management

Executive Committee

Implements the strategy and runs day-to-day management. Meets at least once a month.

Delivery

Departments and committees

Department heads coordinate members, committees and project teams.

02 — The team

The people behind it.

03 — Official documents

Our founding texts.

The statutes prevail over the internal rules, which in turn prevail over any decision of the Board or the Executive Committee. The documents are in French.
