Board & Secretariat

The Board of the EAAE consists of ten members, namely a President, a Vice-president, a Secretary-general, a Treasurer and six other board members. The Board is entrusted with managing the EAAE.

Each EAAE Board member is appointed for a term of three years. The Secretary‐General and the Treasurer are eligible for reappointment. The Vice‐President is the EAAE President-elect and, when the President retires, he/she will be automatically nominated by the Board for appointment as President for the coming three years. The six other board members are appointed for a term of three years. They can be immediately reappointed for another term of three years only once. Normally three of these six board members retire at the end of each term, while the remaining three are nominated by the Board to serve for another term.

The appointment of the Board members is made from a binding nomination prepared by the Board, after a call for candidates to the EAAE members. The Board uses the nominations to put together a binding proposal on which the members will be asked to vote using an electronic ballot. The General Meeting convened at the triennial EAAE Congress is asked to confirm the result of the ballot and elect the new Board.
