DIFFERENCE BOARD-ENTOURAGE
The difference between being a board or entourage member is that as a board member you have the final responsibility, you are the point of contact and you maintain the communication between your team and the Governing Board (the national board in Belgium). This team will consist of two board members, one that has the final responsibility for the marketing activities and one that has the final responsibility for the communication activities, and three entourage members.
