EndPlasticSoup started in 2018 in District 1580 with a number of Amsterdam Rotary Clubs taking the initiative to end plastic soup in the world. Since January 2020 EndPlasticSoup is an official “Stichting” (Public Benefit Organization, charity) according to Dutch Law with a Board. The bylaws meet the conditions for Rotary related organizations.
The EndPlasticSoup Operational Board is in charge of the management of the foundation and has the authority and responsibility to decide on legal and financial matters.
The Operational Board is the statutory board of the EndPlasticSoup Foundation, registered in the Netherlands.
You can contact us by email endplasticsoup@gmail.com.
The members of the Board are not entitled to any renumeration. They are, however, entitled to ask for reimbursement of reasonable costs (such as travel expenses).
EndPlasticSoup is organized into geographical and theme areas, each with a regional director or theme director who is responsible for developing EndPlasticSoup and achieving its objectives. EndPlasticoup Directors create and manage the annual plan for the region or the theme to contribute to the goal of EndPlasticSoup. They promote, communicate, cooperate and manage the available budget. They build their Team to ensure continuity and identify opportunities, and actively participate to board meetings and applicable ambassador meetings and webinars. They are appointed for an initial 3-year term.
The International Board has an advisory role regarding strategy, priorities and operational actions, however does not bear legal or financial responsibility.
