Organization Structure
ERB’s organizational structure is designed to effectively deliver on the Board’s statutory mandate. The structure is headed by the Registrar (Chief Executive Officer) who is accountable to the Board of Directors. The Registrar is supported by four Assistant Registrars heading the main operational departments.
