EDANA elects renewed board of governors

Martin Rapp is the chair of the communications steering group, in addition to his previous 5 year service to EDANA on the board of governors. The annual general meeting confirmed Mikael Axelsen and Pieter Meijer as vice chairs to the board for 2016-2017, supported by Paul Eevers as treasurer.

“It is an honour and pleasure to serve the broad EDANA membership as chair, and build on the evolution that we have delivered over the past 4 years to our focus and member company services. My focus will be to ensure that the association's activities meet our strategic interests of global outreach, sector expansion and anticipating those challenges to our industries, and to ensure the financial performance and health of the association,” said Martin Rapp, newly elected chair of EDANA's board of governors.

“The past four years have seen considerable changes occur within EDANA, designed to better meet the needs of member companies, and ensure that EDANA is 'fit for the future'. As an association, we have challenged our member companies, and as a result, have opened wide-ranging discussions about the way in which we prepare and respond to the challenges and opportunities for our industries. In particular, I would like to thank the entire EDANA staff, and celebrate their embrace of this evolution, in their adaptation of the way they support member companies, taking on additional training and achieving a number of milestones in the delivery of services to the entire membership,” said outgoing chairperson Tricia Featherstone.
