Our Board.
The PICAN Board is essential in steering our organisational strategy and governance efforts, ensuring that the diverse perspectives of our country nodes and regional partners are inculcated on our operations.
Comprising representatives from each country node, one representative from our regional partners, along with independent experts with specialised skills, the Board provides vital oversight and direction, guiding our collective mission to empower Pacific communities and enhance our impact in the fight against climate change.
