Governance and Structure The Initiative is governed by the Articles of Association which provides for the Board of eleven office bearers headed by the Chairperson.

The YALI Board has also established an Advisory Council of luminaries to offer mentoring, coaching, support, internship, technical and financial support, and advisory services to the YALI from their own organizations. The Advisory council therefore serves as the matron/ patron. |
