The roles and responsibilities of the WFN Trustees are expansive and include everything from creating educational programmes, to planning the biennial World Congress, and overseeing all WFN charity & fiduciary responsibilities.

The new Trustees all bring unique skills and experience as well as perspectives from their regions to the Trustee discussions and deliberations that will help guide WFN in the future. We are very pleased to have these leaders join the WFN Trustees, and are certain that they will have a positive impact on improving the quality of the WFN's activities to promote quality neurology and brain health worldwide.
