The Foundation for Economic Education has a total of 16 operational regions in Finland, which generally correspond to the Chamber of Commerce regional districts.
Each year, the regional members of the Foundation’s Support Association select regional committees from among the members of their respective regions. There are altogether 16 regional committees. The voluntary work conducted by the regional committees is indispensable, in both acquiring new members and in founding new special funds for the Foundation. The committees also evaluate grant applications from their respective regions. The regions are mostly based on the regional division of the Finnish Chambers of Commerce. The regional committees’ rules of procedure were approved by the Association’s Board in 2022.
