The Board of the Parliament of Catalonia (Catalan: Mesa del Parlament) is the body responsible for the management of the Parliament of Catalonia. It is composed of the President of the Parliament, the two Vice-Presidents of the Parliament and four Secretaries, who are elected (in separate votes) by the Plenary Assembly.

The main functions of the Board are

  • to organize the work of Parliament;
  • to interpret parliamentary procedure;
  • to manage the various support services of Parliament.

The President (or one of the Vice-Presidents as necessary) is also responsible for chairing sessions of the Plenary Assembly, and for the external representation of Parliament.
