UNICEF Executive Board
Bureau
The President and four Vice-Presidents comprise the Bureau. These five officers, each representing one of the five regional groups, are elected by the Executive Board at its first regular session of each year from among its members, with the presidency rotating among the regional groups on an annual basis. As a matter of custom, permanent members of the Security Council do not serve as officers of the Executive Board.

The Bureau serves as a bridge between the UNICEF secretariat and the regional groups represented on the Executive Board, dealing primarily with liaison, administrative and functional matters, such as facilitating the negotiation of decisions at the session, to enhance the effectiveness of the Executive Board. Members of the Bureau normally coordinate informal consultations within their respective regional groups. The Bureau normally meets on a monthly basis, and daily during the Executive Board sessions.
