Board of Trustees
An independent body that does not report to any office or executive organ, responsible for governance and strategic planning. It does not run day-to-day work; it guides and oversees the overall direction of the Sudanese community. The board was formed in June 2026, and its members unanimously chose its chair and vice chair on August 11, 2026.
“Integrity, unity, respect, and service to all without discrimination”
