Governance

The Central Governing Board (CGB) of the Sri Lanka Red Cross Society consists of the President, Vice President, National Secretary, Chairman of the Finance Commission, Director General (DG) and ten other members.

The CGB provides policy and strategic decisions and appoints finance commissions, statutory committees, and other ad hoc committees to guide and direct management in order to ensure policy and practise adherence. To ensure efficient programme functions and alignment with governance policy directives, virtual policy committees are formed from selected governance and management members at National Headquarters (NHQ) and branches for core programme sectors as well as other needy programmes.

The NHQ core management structure consists of the Director General and a Deputy Director General, as well as Focal Points appointed for core areas such as Disaster Management, Health, First-Aid, Organisational Development, Humanitarian Values, Communication, Finance, Human Resources, Logistics, and Transportation, all of which execute programmes through their respective programme officers and managers.

Branch Executive Officer (BEO) is the top management of the branches, with the branch accountants and other staff if any appointed working under the administrative authority of the BEO, directed by the Branch Chairman at branch level and the DG at the NHQ level.
