The Paolo Chiesi Foundation bases its work on principles of integrity, transparency, and accountability, guaranteed by a governance system aimed at ensuring effective and responsible management of activities and resources.<\/p>\n

The Foundation’s governance is entrusted to the Management Board and the Coordinator. The Board of Directors sets strategic direction, approves the budget and business plan, and elects its President, the legal representative of the organization, from among its members. The position of President is currently held by Dr. Maria Paola Chiesi.<\/p>\n

The Foundation also relies on two Technical Advisory Groups (TAGs), composed of international experts in the neonatal and respiratory fields. The TAGs support the implementation of the long-term strategy, strengthen dialogue with the global scientific community, and provide technical advice to partners involved in the implementation and oversight of the NEST and GASP models.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The President is the legal representative of the Foundation, convenes and directs the meetings of the Management Board, ensuring the implementation of the resolutions adopted by the latter.<\/p>\n
