Boardmembers
The foundation was founded officially on the 4th of December in 1987. Traditionally, the boardmembers consists of journalists, government communication officers, politicians and scientists. Together they are responsible for the organization of the (lunch) events of the foundation. The board is also responsible for the Machiavelli award. The Machiavelli award is yearly granted to the person or organization who has been the most effective in putting this principle into practice. Always in a positive way and for a positive cause.
