Annual Report 2017
Our directors are responsible for the management of the Anne Frank House. They are appointed by the Supervisory Board.
The Supervisory Board monitors the policy of the directors and supports them with advice. The Advisory Board advises the Supervisory Board on issues that are decisive for the identity of the Anne Frank House.
On 1 January Mr. E. Hirsch Ballin took over the chairpersonship from Mr. W. Kok. Kok was chairperson of the Supervisory Board for twelve years, the maximum term of office. The Anne Frank House thanks him for his involvement and commitment throughout these years.
‘For the countless mainly young visitors to the Anne Frank House this is not only a place of remembrance. As I have experienced myself, it is a place that makes you reflect on your own life and the tasks that face us.’
The Anne Frank House works together with partner organisations in Argentina, Austria, Germany, the UK and the USA. They organise international Anne Frank exhibitions and associated educational activities in their countries.
The Anne Frank House operates its own employment conditions package, and in principle adheres to the salary structure of the collective labour agreement for the museums sector. The directors are remunerated within the framework of the Cultural Governance Code. The positions on the Supervisory Board and the Advisory Board are unpaid.
The employee council represents the interests of the organisation and the employees of the Anne Frank House, and takes part in discussions on proposed organisational developments. In 2017 the employee council dealt with nine requests for approval and three requests for advice.
