WHO
Our board is composed of members chosen for their professional skills and commitment to the 3HO values and lifestyle. The board’s mission is to guarantee the integrity of the 3HO heritage through the different events, projects, and evolution of 3HO Europe. The board members contribute their time as seva (a volunteer basis).

The potential member 's application is considered by the existing board and then submitted to the board of Siri Singh Sahib Corporation. Once a prospective board member’s appointment is confirmed by SSSC, the board member will serve on the 3HO Europe board for a determined amount of time which is decided upon when joining the board, usually 2 years.
The Siri Singh Sahib Corporation (SSSC) is the ultimate parent entity of the Siri Singh Sahib’s (Yogi Bhajan’s heritage for profit and nonprofit organizations).

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. This grant is derived from revenues generated by the organization’s for-profit entities and is redistributed to the non-profits according to their needs. 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.

Gurjit Singh Lalli3HO Europe Board memberI was introduced to 3HO in 1999 by a fortunate stroke of serendipity, having been a practising Sikh for many decades it was a welcome gift. I was inspired by the work of the many wonderful people at 3HO and knew one day that I would join them, fast forward 2 decades and an opportunity arose to join the board. I am honoured to have been accepted and I am keen to support the community and we drive forth macro systematic structural change that the world urgently needs.
