Member of the Supervisory Board

Exodus achieves its goals by:

• Supporting and guiding (reintegrating) individuals who have had or are at risk of having run-ins with the law and who lack the prospects for a dignified life, in such a way that they learn to find their own path toward a meaningful existence;
• Building and maintaining a strong network;
• Collaborating with relevant social institutions whenever possible;
• Providing information and sharing knowledge about the foundation's work.

Organizational Model

Board of Directors

Exodus has a single-member Board of Directors (BoD), supported by and working in collaboration with a management team consisting of two Care Managers and an Operations Manager. The Board of Directors is responsible for Exodus and, consequently, for the vision, strategy, policy, and the (financial) frameworks within which Exodus operates. It promotes the Exodus culture, standards, and values and is acutely aware of its role as a role model. The Board of Directors is accountable to the Supervisory Board.

Supervisory Board

Exodus has a Board of Trustees that currently consists of six members. The Board of Trustees acts as the employer to the Executive Board and ensures that the Executive Board manages Exodus effectively and efficiently while providing the highest possible quality of care. It also serves as a sounding board and provides advice to the Executive Board on strategic decisions.

The Supervisory Board has established a number of its own committees, such as the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Quality & Safety Committee will be added to this list shortly. In addition to attending the regular meetings of the Board of Trustees and the aforementioned committees of the Board, consultations are held with the employee participation bodies, and contact is maintained in various ways with Exodus’s internal organization, as well as with the external environment in which Exodus operates.

Two vacancies will open up on the Board of Trustees in the course of 2023: one for a member who is the prospective chair of the Audit Committee, and one for a prospective member of the Quality & Safety Committee. Once the two new members have been appointed, the Board of Trustees will ultimately consist of five members.

The profile requirements for members of the Supervisory Board can be divided into, on the one hand, general principles that the Supervisory Board as a team must meet and, on the other hand, specific qualities that individual members of the Supervisory Board bring to the table.
