Our organisation is structured in a way that ensures influence and transparency for our member organisations.
- The general assembly elects a board of directors from among representatives nominated by our member organisations.
- The board consists of representatives from each of our 14 member organisations. The board concludes our remuneration models, copying agreements and administration practice.
- The administration is led by a managing director who is employed by the board.
Our statutes provide the framework for our management of text and sheet music rights.
Our organisational structure reflects both influence and transparency.
