Board of Governors

The Board of Governors is the Staff College’s governing body that approves its overall work programme and budget. The UNSSC Board considers ways and means of enhancing the financial resources of the Staff College, evaluates its activities and provides recommendations for its future strategic direction.

Members of the UNSSC Board

UNSSC Board Members include senior officials from the High-level Committee on Programmes (HLCP) and the High-level Committee on Management (HLCM). This is in line with the Staff College’s profile as an inter-agency institution and resource.
