There are at least three under 45 years of age and another two between ages 46 and 60, and none represent minority groups. These are people appointed by different companies - thus, each one represents their corresponding company. The members of the Board of Directors are chosen by direct vote, by considering the votes of all companies associated to inpEV, at the time of the Ordinary General Assembly (AGO), and its president is elected by its members (read more in the chapter on Corporate Governance and Governance structure).

4.2

Presidency of the highest governance organ

The Board of Directors (CD) is chosen by direct elections in which all companies associated to inpEV vote, during the Ordinary General Assembly (AGO), and the CD chairman is elected by its own members. The AGO, held twice a year, is also presided by the CD chairman.
