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.
