University of Helsinki
You are all warmly welcome to the association’s spring meeting that will be held 28th March at 17.30 in the meeting room Seppele in Domus Gaudium, Leppäsuontie 11, 1st floor.
At the meeting we will go through the action report of last year and the auditors report, and formally grant last year’s board freedom of responsibility.
In addition, we are looking for a couple of new board members. At the autumn meeting last year we changed the bylaws, so that the board from the beginning of this year can have up to 13 members. Currently we are 10 board members (and two officers), which means that there is room for three more board members. Another “lighter” way to participate is to come along as an officer. As officer you don’t have the right to vote at meetings, but otherwise you are as much one of the team as anyone and can participate in all the things you want to participate in.
The board meets about once a month. At the meetings we focus on being effective and making decisions and in between we get things done in smaller working groups. We welcome any new initiatives and ideas, so if you have thoughts about what the association could or should do – come share them with us!
Last but not least, our working language is English, so you don’t need to worry about not knowing Finnish :)
In short, we encourage anyone at all interested in participating in the board to come to the meeting to find out more. In case you are interested in becoming a board member, but cannot attend the meeting, please let the chair know in advance!
