Sille Høgh Birkeland

Candidacy for Community Manager

Why am I running?

I took up the position of Community Manager in February, and it has been a positive challenge in many ways. I have grown into the role, gained new perspectives and discovered new ways of approaching the work. At the same time, I feel there is so much more I can learn and contribute, and I would very much like the opportunity to continue developing both myself and the department. For the past three/four months, I’ve been living in Estonia as part of my internship, which has meant that most of my work with Silba has taken place online. Although it has been an experience in its own way, I have missed being physically present, meeting people in the local communities and taking part in all their exciting events. This has only strengthened my motivation to continue as Community Manager and to get even more involved in bringing our members together, supporting the local branches and strengthening the sense of community across Silba.

I am therefore applying for another term, as I still have ideas and ambitions that I would very much like to bring to the role. I see this as an opportunity to build on what we already have achieved, whilst continuing to explore new ways of making Silba an even more cohesive community

My Biggest Goal for the upcomming Board Term:

I want to expand Silba's presence across Denmark, so more people get the opportunity to have a more active part of our organisation. To sum it up: I really want to open a new branch!
