The Secretary-General of the Community of Nations is the head of the Secretariat of the Community of Nations, and as such is ultimately responsible for directing the manner in which the organization carries out its mandates. Until the 1960s, Secretaries-General were mostly from Euclea, but since then there has been a growing tendency for them to rotate between regional groups. The current Secretary-General, Ekaterine Beruchashvili, is the first woman to hold the position.
