What?

The Annual General Meeting (AGM) 19 May

The AGM is the main governance body. The business session taking place on 19 May 2015, will be an opportunity to learn about what has been achieved in 2014 and to discuss and adopt the strategic priorities for the year to come.

The programme is available here.

Networking space – “Tea Time”

To make sure you make the most of this opportunity to meet your colleagues from all around Europe we have included space for networking in the programme.

After the business session it is tea time! This is an additional space to meet with your peers around tea to discuss, exchange ideas of common interest and celebrate your being part of the European Patients’ Movement. The attendance and topics are free.

Governance

The elections for the board will take place at the AGM. Five seats are vacant. The current two-year term of office for the following four Board members comes to an end: Vida Augustiniene, Marco Greco, Stanimir Hasurdjiev and Robert Johnstone. Following Tomasz Szelagowski’s resignation from the Polish Patients’ Federation, one more seat is available.

You will recall that other board members Anders Olauson, Susanna Palkonen, Dominik Tomek and Brian Westwere elected last year and are half way through their term of office.

If your organisation is a full member of EPF and wishes to nominate a member to the board, please complete and return the nomination form by 19 April. More information on the responsibilities of being an EPF Board Member is available here.

Please note that applicant organisations to be endorsed at the Annual General Meeting that meet the criteria for full membership are also eligible to put forward a nomination.
