TÜSEV’s 2025 Annual Board of Trustees Meeting Held

TÜSEV’s 2025 Annual Board of Trustees Meeting took place on Thursday, May 15, at the Sabancı Center, hosted by the Sabancı Foundation. During the meeting, TÜSEV’s 2024 activities were presented to members, followed by the sharing and approving of the 2024 financial statements, the independent audit report, and the Audit Committee report. Subsequently, TÜSEV’s Executive Board and Audit Committee were formally discharged by the Board of Trustees. The 2025 work plan was then presented to members, and TÜSEV’s 2025 budget was discussed and approved.

As part of the meeting, new membership applications were reviewed and approved by the Board of Trustees. Accordingly, Ege Contemporary Education Foundation (EÇEV), Sani Şener Foundation, Yanındayız Association, and the ÇABA Association joined TÜSEV’s membership network.

Elections were held for the Executive Board and the Board of Trustees. In line with our new statute, the number of Executive Board members has been reduced from 11 to 9. As the terms of office for Erdal Yıldırım from the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation, Alparslan Tansuğ from the The ENKA Sport, Education and Social Assistance Foundation, and Prof. Dr. Öner Günçavdı from the Elginkan Foundation came to an end, Betül Selcen Özer from the Support Foundation for Civil Society was elected to serve on the Executive Board for the 2025–2029 term. Sait Tosyalı, Nigar Evgin, and Ece Elbirlik Ürkmez were elected as members of the Audit Committee. We sincerely thank our outgoing members for their valuable contributions and wish our new member great success in her role.

Following the Board of Trustees Meeting, an inspiring event was held as part of the “Future of Philanthropy Dialogue Meetings” series. During the event, Sami Bugay and Özgür Kurtuluş delivered thought-provoking presentations on artificial intelligence, leadership, and civil society. In the coming period, we will continue to deepen discussions on artificial intelligence and organize further meetings on the topic.
