Member of the board

We are looking for an additional member of the Board to pave the strategic direction of our organisation. The Board currently consists of four members, two of whom form the Co-Presidium.

The work on the board is voluntary, but requires less time than in other associations, as wLw has an operational management team. The board members are elected at our AGMs (general meetings). These take place once a year (in April).
