About Taptoe Delft

The projectmanager leads the Taptoe Delft Committee. The committee consists of teamleaders, these are individually responsible for the focus on:
– team Program
-team Public Relations and Communication
– team Streetparade
– team Technique
– team Back Office
– team Sales
– team Catering

The teamleaders perform the assigned duties within the  delegated power given by the projectmanager. Periodically they report about their tasks to the projectmanager.

The projectmanager is responsible  for the overall organisation of Taptoe Delft. The projectmanager is a member of the board, but not a part of the Executive Committee.  He or she reports to the full board and acts under responsibility of the board.

Integrity, in the broadest sense of the word, is a high priority of the board. This means that contradictions between personal (financial) interests and the membership of board need to be avoided. This also applies for the members of the Taptoe Committee. The costs that individual boardmembers have, will not be paid by Stichting Taptoe Delft, unless the management has decided on beforehand that these costs can be invoiced.

The board meets at least four times a year and as often as is considered desirable by the board. During the meeting policy always is the starting point to assess its progress. Besides this every boardmember can introduce meeting points.
The board and the Taptoe Committee meet as often as desirable.

The advisory committee was founded in 2013 to provide feedback, inspiration, opinions,  etcetera,  form a different perspective, expertise or vision. The advisory committee is not a formal part of the organization.  Every member of the advisory committee takes part in  the meetings  with the members of the board on a personal title.  Opinions are not binding. In principle the board and the advisory committee meet twice a year.

Stichting Taptoe Delft has set some goals in the coarse of the years. In April 2012 the Stichting realized one of their goals by the installation a Committee of Recommendation.
