Below are the main committees and councils that work within the organization as well as our representatives in permanent committees and councils run by the state and municipalities. This is not an exhaustive list, partly because the organization's staff are also on boards and councils on their own terms.
Executive Board
The Executive Board manages the organization from day to day. More about executive management under Organization chart.
Patreksfjörður management
The management board was created during organizational changes in early 2020. The chief medical contractor is an observer when he is on duty. The head of nursing sits on the executive board, but other members of the executive board have the right to sit in on meetings when the agenda warrants it.
