STINAPA - MANAGEMENT

The Foundation is managed by the Management Team:
The STINAPA Managing Director, the Manager of the Bonaire National Marine Park, the Manager of the Washington Slagbaai National Park, the Nature Environment Education Coordinator, the Accounting Manager and the Communications Officer.
An Administrative Assistant, an Interior Maintenance Person and one All-Around Person support the foundation administration. Each park has its own Rangers.
The Management Team concept was introduced in 2003 when the foundation hired a Managing Director for the first time. The Managing Director represents the Board of Directors on the work-floor and presides over the Management Team’s weekly meetings. These meetings are to keep the members informed about the activities in each unit and to reach consensus on strategic and tactical decisions.

Any policy-related suggestion is presented to the Board of Directors for approval.

A general meeting is held once a month to keep all employees informed about the activities of the Foundation. Management Team members report to their colleagues about what is happening at the executive level. Other employees react to happenings in their areas and bring forward questions, concerns or suggestions.

The Board of Directors is kept informed through the minutes of the Management Team meetings and the minutes of the general meetings.
