The GK Board consists of a mix of external trustees and key people within the Gawad Kalinga organization to be able to bring the most extensive range of expertise in key areas of GK’s operation. These leaders are distinct in their respective fields, but they are also advocates that have extensive experience and appreciation of GK’s on-ground work, and this enables them to make sound policies that support and facilitate the mission.
