Organization

Organizational Structure

JAYD is run by the Organizing Committee (OC). The OC combines Regional Teams (columns) with four cross-border Functional Departments (rows). All Organizers work together on the Annual Conference. The President, the Regional Coordinator (RC) of each Regional Team and the Director of each Functional Department form the Executive Board, which sets JAYD’s direction through discussion.

How We Operate

Executive Board

Made up of the President, the Regional Coordinator (RC) of each Regional Team, and the Director of each Functional Department. The Board sets JAYD’s direction through discussion. When a new country joins, its RC joins the Executive Board.

Functional Departments

There are four: In-person Programs, Events, PR, and Funding & Partnerships. Members from across Regional Teams come together in each department and work under its Director.

Session Units

Units that prepare each session of the Annual Conference and facilitate it on the day. Each unit mixes Organizers from all Regional Teams and has one leader.
