How We Run – Our Governance

The Saudi Society for Food & Nutrition (SSFN) operates as a not-for-profit, limited liability organization granted charitable status in November 2007. Our Board of Trustees, elected by our membership, serves as the directors overseeing the organization’s activities.

Our flexible organizational structure ensures alignment with fundamental objectives while accommodating shifts in emphasis and evolutionary change. Standing Committees and Forums advise the Board of Trustees on relevant topics and activities.
