The Federal Executive Committee of Alliance 90/The Greens (often also referred to as the Federal Executive Committee of the Greens) (German: Bundesvorstand von Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) leads the party Alliance 90/The Greens in Germany. It implements the decisions of the Federal Delegates' Conference (party conference) and the Federal Council and also adopts its own decisions on important political issues. The Federal Executive Committee convenes the Federal Delegates' Conference.
Composition
Members According to the federal statutes of the Greens the following members belong to the Federal Executive Committee, who are elected every two years by the Federal Delegates' Conference:
the two federal chairpersons, the Federal Political Director, the Federal Treasurer, the two deputy federal chairpersons.
Compared to the executive boards of other parties such as the CDU/CSU , and SPD, the Green Party's federal executive board, with its six members, is relatively small and thus more akin to a party presidium . Its work is advised by the party council, which, however, consists of 16 members and therefore more closely resembles a typical party executive board.
The Federal Delegates' Conference elects from among the members of the Federal Executive Committee a spokesperson for women's policy (who must be a woman), a spokesperson for diversity policy, and a European and international coordinator.
Women's quota According to the statutes, the Federal Executive Committee may consist of no more than two members of the Bundestag, a Landtag, or the European Parliament. Membership on the Federal Executive Committee is generally incompatible with the following offices: Chair of a parliamentary group in the Bundestag, chair of a state parliament, chair of the parliamentary group in the European Parliament, member of the Federal Government, member of a state government, member of the European Commission.
