JURY 2020
The jury, appointed by the Tällberg Foundation’s Board of Directors, selects the Tällberg / Eliasson Global Leadership Prize winners. Jury members, who are global leaders in their own right, are drawn from a wide variety of national, cultural, and professional backgrounds; jury membership is substantially renewed every year. Each jury develops its own criteria within the broad purposes that have been laid out by the Board.
