| The [[]Board of Directors](../index.html#board-members) of The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) is responsible for |
| management and oversight of the business and affairs of the corporation in |
| accordance with the [[]Bylaws](../bylaws.html). This includes managing corporate assets (funds, intellectual property, trademarks, and support |
| equipment), appointing a President and corporate officers to manage |
| the core operations of the ASF, and allocating corporate resources for the benefit of Apache projects. |
| Importantly, the ASF assigns [[]technical decision-making authority](../governance/#technical) for every |
| Apache project the project's independent Project Management Committee (PMC). Participants in each project provide its direction, not the board. |
| The [[]ASF membership](../members.html) elects to board annually. |
| |
| Board meetings and minutes are published on the [[]board |
| calendar](calendar.html). Many other [[]public records](../records/) of our |
| corporation are publicly available. Information about Apache [[]corporate governance and |
| organization](../governance/) and [[]how board meetings work](meeting) are also available. |
| |
| The current board of directors is: |
| |
| [for board] |
| - [board.name] |
| [end] |
| |
| A listing of [[]all officers of the ASF][[]1] is also published, along with a |
| [[]history of past directors][[]2]. |
