The founding board is being completed as a three-member board — Chairperson, Secretary, and Treasurer — with candidates for the Secretary and Treasurer roles currently in discussion. A Model Advocate and an Industry & Digital Rights expert are potential future additions as the foundation scales.
The foundation was established in January 2026, with the founder serving as sole board member — as permitted for the first board under the foundation's Statutes. Expansion to a three-member board is actively in progress: candidates for the Secretary (Legal & Compliance) and Treasurer (Financial Officer) roles are currently in discussion.
Board expansion in progress — targeted for 2026
Board expansion will occur in phases as the foundation establishes operations and scales its programs.
Strategic Guidance - Non-Voting
Provides strategic guidance to the Board
The Advisory Council is being formed with industry leaders across three continents. Members will be announced as appointments are confirmed.
Once confirmed, the Advisory Council will comprise five members:
Two agency owners from different markets, two models bringing different perspectives and advocacy experience, and one fully independent member with no ties to the modeling industry — bringing an outside perspective from a field such as safeguarding, human rights, mediation, or social work.
Committee structure will be formalised as the foundation scales. Our Statutes (Article 10) provide for advisory councils, working groups, and committees to be established as needed.
