Presidium

The Presidium consists of nine party leaders representing all continents of the world and regional party networks of the Progressive Alliance. It consists of two members from Africa and the Middle East, two from the Americas, two from Asia, two from Europe, and one from Oceania.

The Presidium acts as the executive body of the Progressive Alliance in between the Board meetings. The Presidium is elected by the Board every three years. The Presidium discusses issues of international relevance, puts forward and takes decisions on immediate policies and resolutions of the Progressive Alliance. To reinforce strong mandate and unity within the Progressive Alliance, the Presidium takes decisions by consensus.

The members of the Presidium act as main representatives and spokespersons of the Progressive Alliance in high-level forums and negotiations. The Presidium meets at least twice a year. Supplementary or extraordinary meetings can be convened if supported by one third of the presidium members.
