Election of Officers in the Diversity Charter Advisory Board - Call for Applications

The Hungarian Business Leaders Forum is launching a call for nominations for the renewal of the Diversity Charter Advisory Board.
We welcome applications from members who would like to actively contribute to the work of the charter.

The new members of the Advisory Board will be responsible for participating in strategic decision-making related to the Diversity Charter, promoting its programs, and supporting them in an ambassadorial role.

The Advisory Board member is elected for a fixed term of three years (from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2028) and may be re-elected for multiple terms. The responsibilities associated with board membership must be performed personally.

Active Representation:
The primary task of the board member is to effectively represent the Charter’s mission and objectives, and to actively contribute to its leadership and decision-making processes.

Board members act as ambassadors of the organization, helping to secure appropriate resources and to increase the number of member companies of the Charter.

Support for New Initiatives:
Board members are expected to propose and support new initiatives that align with the Charter’s mission.

Program Promotion:
Board members should actively participate in promoting the Charter’s programs, for example through social media engagement and participation in events.
