Trustees

The Board of Trustees are responsible for the overall governance of Tzedek
and each trustee is a director of the company.

We are charged with ensuring that all of Tzedek's activities accord with our
charitable objects:

To provide direct support to small-scale, self-help, sustainable development
projects. Tzedek is currently supporting projects in Africa and Asia.

To educate people, particularly in the Jewish community, about the causes and
effects of poverty and the Jewish obligation to respond.

In furthering these objects the Board has established four subcommittees on
whose voluntary members we greatly rely for the advancement of our charitable
objects:

the Overseas Projects Group receives and evaluates applications for grant
aid, and monitors projects we have chosen to support;
the Volunteer Programmes Group organises overseas volunteer programmes;
the Income Generation Group organises fundraising events;
and the recently launched Education Programmes Group which is currently
preparing an enhanced programme of educational activities.
In addition to our subcommittees we are ably assisted by our part-time
Development Officer, Steven Derby.

As at 31st March 2003 the following were members of the Board:
Clive Lawton, Steve Miller, Justin Philips, Ian Rosmarin, Neville Sassienie,
Katie Schenk, Peter Scholl, Karin Shmueli.

We are pleased that the composition of the Board reflects Tzedek's aim to be
cross communal. Its 8 members also includes two graduates of our Overseas
Volunteer Programme.
