Frank is the Chairman of the Board of Directors at the Adalbert-Raps-Stiftung. He has known the Foundation since he was a child and since he has been in charge of it, he has developed his own image of how the Foundation can contribute to society. He is helped in this by his desire for strategic foresight, the joy of constructive debate and pitching in when something needs to be done. So he is much more than the person who "only" makes decisions.
