09 July 2008
Welcome to OneWorld UK. We aim to provide the UK's best online coverage of human rights and sustainable development.


Trustees

OneWorld International Foundation Trustees

The Trustees are the guardians of OneWorld’s vision. They set out the overall aims and values of the network and oversee adherence. And they guide the direction of the network in its mission to harness the democratic potential of the internet to promote human rights and sustainable development.

The Board of Trustees is composed democratically of Trustees nominated (one per centre) by the network's centres around the world. Its current membership is shown below, with links to biographical notes on each board member.

Since the Board only meets in person once a year, it has appointed an Executive Committee to meet at least four times a year to carry out more immediate tasks.

Chair of Trustees:
  • Rajendre Khargi, Board member, National Commission for International Cooperation and Sustainable Development (Netherlands)

Board members:
  • Elena Acin, Director, Fundación Chandra (Spain)
  • Juan Carlos Cruz Barrientos (Costa Rica)
  • Teodor Celakoski, Project Director for the Multimedia Institute, Zagreb (OW Platform for Southeast Europe)
  • Chad Lubelsky, Policy Officer for the Canada Millennium Scholarship Foundation in Montreal
  • Margaret Machila, Development consultant (Zambia)
  • Pierino Martinelli, Division Manager, DeltaDator S.p.a., Trentino (Italy)
  • Sirpa Pietikainen, President of the Citizens Security Council and former Minister of the Environment (Finland)
  • Gary Poon, Lawyer, business consultant and mediator, Washington DC (USA)
  • Adam Wilkinson, Founder of social enterprise support systems (UK)
