My board year all started with a phone call. A phone call that told me I would be a part of the 59th board, the next president of EFR, and in for the experience of a lifetime. And what an experience it has been. Together with my 8 fellow board members I got the chance to see what it is like to lead such a big association and have all the responsibility that comes with it.

Furthermore, I got 8 new friends this board year and many memories. I will never forget the ball we attended in Vienna, skiing together in Les Deux, visiting other associations in different cities, and the many, many hours spent at our beautiful office. During a board year, you get a lot of responsibility managing an association with over 7.000 members. Furthermore, you get to meet prominent speakers, help organise a broadspectrum of events and work with many different people. All in all, a board year is the perfect way to develop yourself immensely while making a lot of new memories!
