Steering Committee
The GloCo Steering Committee has the overall lead of GloCo.ch
The Steering Committee is the executive organ of GloCo. The Steering Committee is composed of at least three full members (the Secretary General, the Treasurer, and at least one further full member) elected by the General Assembly. All Working Group Leaders are members of the Steering Committee.
The powers of the Steering Committee are manyfold, the main job is to make sure that all measures are taken to attain the objectives of GloCo. So the steering committee for example prepares the General Assemblies, makes decisions with regard to admission of new members, ensures the compliance with the bylaws and coordinates the work of the different working groups.

“Globalization has brought many good things but also many global challenges. Only with the implementation of a global democracy can we solve global problems.”
Lucy Koechlin
Chair of Partnerships Working Group
“I’m committed to creating global democracy because global problems urgently need global solutions – and we, the people, urgently need real power and real systems to make these global solutions happen.”
Lars Lünenburger
Chair of Principles Working Group
“We need global democracy to solve our global problems and implement sustainable solutions. Today’s digital technologies can help us. Let’s use them.”
Nadine Truyol
Chair of Promotion Working Group
"I am motivated to empower people to think ahead and as one, and I strongly believe that together we can accomplish so much more than if we approach things individually. Being globally connected and organized will finally allow us to solve our bigger problems.”
