Board and Governance

The Parliamentary Network is governed by a Board of Directors currently composed of eleven members. Members and Chair of the Parliamentary Network Board are elected for a two-year term. The Association’s by-laws require a partial renewal of Board members at the Annual Conference, which also doubles as the Parliamentary Network Annual General Meeting.

The current Board – elected in 2021 at the Parliamentary Network’s Global Parliamentary Forum (GPF) – includes nine members from the continents of Africa, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

The Board ensures the continued and sustainable development of the Parliamentary Network; initiates and oversees the Network’s activities; represents the Network at international events; prepares annual meetings; and helps to mobilize necessary financial resources for the Parliamentary Network, in addition to administering the funds.

The current Board Members are:

The Rt Hon. Liam Byrne MP, UK, Chair
Hon. Ricardo B. Leite, Portugal, Vice Chair
Hon. Marlene M. Forte, Jamaica, Vice Chair

Hon. Steve Azaiki, Nigeria, Vice Chair
Senator Antonio Alarcó, Spain, Vice Chair
Hon. Collins Adomako-Mensah, Ghana, Treasurer

Hon. Madjara Tiegbana Coulibaly, Côte d’Ivoire
Senator Neila Tazi, Morocco
Hon. Gagan Thapa, Nepal
