PBM#6.0 Report

/in

Not yet able to make proper use of the recent COVID-19 restriction easing, the Board of EYP Austria is splitting its sixth “Physical” Board Meeting (PBM) between two weekends. During the first part (6.0), it discussed important matters regarding the organisation, with Advisory Board Members also attending.

As with all PBMs, a report has been compiled to inform our Members of the subjects talked about there, as well as the results of modules that will have a concrete impact on the organisation. So make sure to check out the report of PBM#6.0 to get an insight into the happenings of the Board and EYP Austria at large! Most notably the Board further developed changes to the structure of the Board regarding responsibilities and tasks associated with portfolios, revisited its strategy for the transition to the next Board period, and added this year’s updates to the new National Strategy.

We are excited to open the call for Officials for the Mini Session St. Veit/Glan, taking place on 2 July.
