Executive Board and Steering Committee

The responsibility for strategic decision-making at the greater bureau rests with the Executive Board and the Steering Committee. The vast majority of their members—including mayors of local governments—overlaps with the members of equivalent boards from the previous entity. Therefore, consistency in the policies is ensured. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary complications in the decision-making process, the same boards govern both the tourism and regional revitalization sections.

The President of the former entity—the Mayor of Izu City—remains a member of the Executive Board and will serve as the Chairperson of the new Geopark Council. In addition, the former academic advisor and the Chairperson of the Geo-guide association were appointed as members of the Executive Board as a sign of our indissoluble commitment to the vision and mission of the former entity. Their appointment will also enable the tourism sector in the region to become more sustainable.
