The Board consists of the Leader of the CDU, the Secretary General, the Five Deputy Leaders, the treasurer, the honorary chairs, seven elected members of the presidium and 26 elected board members. If the position is held by a CDU member, the Board also consists of the Chancellor of Germany, the President or Vice President of the Bundestag, the chair of the CDU/CSU faction, the President of the European Parliament and the chair of the European People's Party.^[1]
