YEU 2nd Governing Board meeting for 2018
08/05/2019
YEU Governing Board met on the 29 th of April as part of its regular meetings to update each other, discuss and agree on issues related to YEU. During this meeting the GB re-visited their individual action plans and objectives and shared their progress among each other.
During this meeting it was also discussed about the overall functioning of the Administrative office, and it was discussed on the different measures to be taken on mid and long term basis to assure an even stronger office. They also re-discussed the working groups which should start latest during this month (so if you applied wait for a mail soon).
On another note beside these decisions the GB agreed to take part on the PET meeting, and use the following year where the mandate of the PET is finishing to open a debate and
gather feedback on the future structure and functioning on PET. Also the YEU annual convention was discussed where all the final details were confirmed, and the preparation is in the final phase, so follow us on the social media as there will be updates from there in the following days.
