Page 1.4 Organization Structure 1.4.1 How is your NS organized? Describe the structure of the NS in general. KBBY committee member Shin, Kyung-Sook was originally an individual member of IBBY. In 1995 she gathered other Korean children’s book experts together and established the Korean national section. Currently, KBBY consists of one president, twenty committee members, one professional international coordinator, and one secretariat. We have implemented an international outreach program for the last five years and we are in the process of reorganizing our internal structure in order to focus on public campaigns promoting Korean children’s books and reading promotion. 1.4.2 Is your NS affiliated to, or a branch of another organization or institution? If so, which one? We are not affiliated with any other organization or institution. We are an independent nonprofit organization. However our members also belong to other organizations related to children’s books such as the children’s literature and education society, the children’s library, reading promotion groups, publishers’ associations and translators’ associations 1.4.3 Do you have an office and paid staff? There is one paid secretariat in KBBY 1.4.4 How often do you have business meetings? We usually have four regular meetings a year. In addition to that, we meet whenever it is necessary. Membership 1.4.5 Does your NS have organizations as members? How many? What kind of organizations? No, we don’t have any organizations as members.
Currently we don’t have an individual member system. Instead, KBBY committee members implement their own projects in their own fields of expertise or they may carry out their own projects on behalf of KBBY. Their activities include the following: 1. Introducing IBBY and KBBY through Korean and international conference presentations such as the - Frankfurt University International Seminar - Seminar held by Korean publishing company Borim Press entitled: Research and Service Trends for Children and Young Adults Globally - Korean Society of Children’s Literature and Education annual and monthly conferences - Korean Children and Youth Literature Society foundation celebration conference - Korean Children’s Literature Society seminar - Konkuk University’s Children’s Book and Translation Institute spring seminar - Korea- China Publishers’ Forum in Seoul Book Fair 2008
3. Plan and conduct the Nami Island International Children’s Book Festival. 4. Introduce the NOMA international picture book original illustration contests 5. Do various activities in their own organization or association. 1.4.7 Who are your members? What percentage are: teachers? authors? illustrators? publishers? students? etc. KBBY committee members are professionals in the field of children’s books. The number of members has been increased from six to 21 based on the recommendation of the previous six members. The 21 committee members are listed below:
1.4.8 What categories of membership, if any, does your NS have? We have category III membership
We keep in touch with our committee members whenever we need to by e-mail and telephone
2. FUNDING 2.1 Annual Budget What is your average annual budget in US$? Is it increasing or decreasing? KBBY doesn’t have an average budget. We have received financial support from Nami Island, Inc for our activities including the KBBY general assembly, seminar and contest. If KBBY needs any funding – for example, for the promotion of reading by children, we find different sponsors to cover our budget.
2.2.1 Is there a membership fee? How much is it? What percentage of your budget does this account for? There is no membership fee because there are no individual members in KBBY. However there is another reason why we don’t have a membership fee system. We have found that when we ask for membership fees, initially there was no problem, but as time went by we realized that a membership fee places a burden on some members and distracts from the real purpose of our organization. 2.2.2 Do you receive financial support from individual sponsors and/or donors? If so, how much? What percentage of your budget does this account for? KBBY currently receives financial support from Nami Island, Inc. (the KBBY president is CEO of Nami Island). This amounts to approximately 300,000 US dollars per year and equals 100% of our budget. If Nami Island were to end its sponsorship, we feel confident that we could find another sponsor. 2.2.3 Do you receive grants from government or national institutions? If so, how much? What percentage of your budget does this account for? We don’t receive any grants from the Korean government because we wish to be free from their control. 2.2.4 Do you receive grants from other organizations? If so, how much? What percentage of your budget does this account for? No, we don’t 2.2.5 Have other NS contributed any financial support? If so, how much? No, they haven’t given us direct financial support, but we have received a lot of help from other national sections for our festival which has included them sending their books or professionals to Korea. We are highly appreciative of this support. 2.2.6 Do you generate income through publications? If so, how much? What percentage of your budget does this account for? Sometimes we print exhibition catalogues but this is not financially helpful. 2.2.7 Do you have other sources of income not mentioned above? What are they and what percentage of your budget do they account for? Currently we don’t have any other sources of income. 2.2.8 Are the sources of income listed in points 2.2.1 to 2.2.7 regular contributions? We don’t have regular income but we don’t think we have barriers to our activities. 2.2.9 Do you receive support specifically for your IBBY dues? If so, from whom? We don’t receive financial support for our IBBY dues, but our strong sponsors will keep supporting us as long as we continue to do our activities. 2.2.10 Describe successful fundraising strategies your NS has developed.
We have not developed any fundraising activities yet. 3. THE NATIONAL SECTION´S ACTIVITIES

By whom? We are consulted by KBBY committee members’ organizations.
There are several including the Korean National Library for Children and Young Adults and the Korean Publishers Association. Korean National Library for Children and Young Adults support child and young adult information development as a government organization and the children’s information institutional library. They also provide children and young adults with programs including reading promotion especially for those in disadvantaged circumstances. The Korean Children’s Association accelerates exchange in Korean children’s literature field. They introduce new publications to children, young adults and their parents and provide them with various programs encouraging a familiarity with books. In addition, several publishing companies have created TV programs or supported campaigns to establish small libraries for reading promotion, and many small children’s book stores also have done a lot of work for the development of children’s reading and book culture.
Yes, we have done collaboration with the organizations by holding contests, exhibitions and performances. They are eager to allow us to use their names as sponsor for our events and some of KBBY committee members are directly involved in these projects. We will actively work together with them for the development of Korean children’s literature. 4. COOPERATION WITH IBBY

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS Under the leadership of our president, and with the efforts of our previous six committee members, KBBY has flourished for the past several years. However President Kang has expressed his intention to resign in order to encourage wider participation and cooperation. KBBY has also increased the number of its committee members in order to concentrate on domestic activities and public campaigns in Korea while still maintaining international exchanges. KBBY has entered new era of change. If we say that President Kang has raised a tree named KBBY tall, now KBBY committee members must work together to make the tree bloom by participating in activities that will give more benefit to the general public.
