Board of the Parliament of Catalonia, Executive committee in Parliament of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain.
The Board of the Parliament of Catalonia is a leadership body composed of a President, two Vice-Presidents, and four Secretaries who oversee chamber operations. These members coordinate parliamentary sessions and support the legislative work of the 135 elected representatives.
The Board began operations in April 1980 with Heribert Barrera from Republican Left of Catalonia as its first President during the region's democratic restoration. The institution has evolved through successive legislative terms, reflecting the political changes within the region.
Laura Borràs leads the Board of the Thirteenth Parliament, following Núria de Gispert who became the first female President in Catalan parliamentary history.
Members are elected through voting by all representatives at the start of each four-year legislative term. The election is a transparent process that takes place during regular parliamentary sessions and reflects the political composition of the chamber.
The Board interprets parliamentary procedures, manages support services, and represents the institution in external relations with other governmental bodies.
