WHAT
The 3HO Europe board meets every month to align the vision that 3HO EUROPE wants to carry, the actions of its CEO, the follow-up of those of the EYF management team as well as the management of its different assets.
WHEN
The Board of Directors is bound by the statutes of the SSSC, to which it is linked, like all other parents non-profit organisations. The SSSC has no direct influence on the management and actions of 3HO Europe.
Every year 3HO Europe receives a grant from the SSSC along with all other non-profit organizations.

In case of any divergence from SSSC’s integrity or mission, the SSSC board will communicate with the leadership of 3HO Europe.

WHERE
The SSSC is an Oregon nonprofit religious organization that oversees the numerous for-profit and nonprofit organizations created through the inspiration of Yogi Bhajan.
WHY
Why is the SSSC a religious entity? SSSC was formed as a nonprofit religious corporation in part to be the successor to Yogi Bhajan in his role as Siri Singh Sahib. SSSC’s status as a religious organization does not imply that its related organizations must also serve a religious mission.
