Our People

SEARCA is headed by a Center Director who is assisted by two Deputy Directors. One Deputy Director is a Filipino, who takes charge of administration. The other Deputy Director is a national of a SEAMEO Member Country except the Philippines, who takes charge of the core programs.

SEARCA's Governing Board is its top policymaking body. The Board sets policy and annually reviews SEARCA's programs and budgets.

SEARCA Senior Fellows provide gratis advice on program design, technical input for projects, and help secure partnerships and funding.

SEARCA employs a small but skilled team of regular staff, supplemented by contractual staff and consultants. The Center's Fellows Program (Adjunct, Senior, and Visiting Research Fellows) strengthens its professional staff.
