TBC Board

TBC board members meet at least twice annually in person at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) and at the Annual General Meeting (AGM). At least another two meetings are conducted over the Internet each year. Board members are elected for a two-year term at the AGM. The board has a minimum of five members and a maximum of eight. The board must consist of at least four member-agency representatives. Up to four external candidates can be elected. The chair is currently held by James Thomson (Act for Peace).
TBC currently has a staff of 56 people; 47 in Thailand and 9 in Burma/Myanmar. The total staff gender ratio is almost exactly 50:50. The majority of staff are local employees in each country. Staff backgrounds reflect in many ways the populations with whom TBC works, with many our employees having full or part Karen/Kayin, Karenni/Kayah, Burman, Shan, Thai, and other backgrounds.

Donors

In 2021, approximately 95% percent of its funding came from the government donors from US, UK, Australia, Canada and Taiwan. Although most of TBC’s funds are now institutional, it still continues to receive funds from individuals, private foundations and organisations and churches. These contributions are particularly encouraging and uplifting for our staff and members. To make a donation, please visit the Donation page.

TBC would like to sincerely thank its donors and members for their generous contributions and support.
