Why am I running?

I’m running again because I feel like I’ve only just found my feet as Vice President. This past term taught me a lot. I’ve picked up new skills and new perspectives, and I now understand what the role actually requires. One term gave me time to learn the steps. A second term would let me actually dance.

Over the past year I’ve helped start implementing our strategy, build new partnerships, and set up networks with like-minded organisations. All of that is still at an early stage, and I’d like to help see it through. I see this as a great opportunity to build on what we’ve started and take it further.

My Biggest Goal for the upcomming Board Term:

My biggest goal is to strengthen our work with the organisation’s strategy. I want to put more structure behind it and introduce concrete tools we can use across the whole organisation, so the strategy becomes something we use in our everyday work.

I’ll also make our national activities a priority. That’s where we grow as an organisation and build our membership from the ground up. We’re already doing great work internationally, and I want to connect our national and international work more closely so that each one strengthens the other.
