Meet The Board Talko’s operations are mainly run by members of the association’s board. All of the board’s actions are based on a strategy approved by the members of our association – every member of Talko has the right to influence that strategy. This year Talko’s Board consists of 10 members, who you will surely meet many times during the fall. Read the introductions of our board members and try to remember these faces – you can always come to us no matter what you want to talk about. We do this for you, our dear members. Viivi Hämäläinen – Chairperson of the Board
Hi everyone! I’m Viivi Hämäläinen, 24-year-old 3rd year sales student. 2019 is my second year in Talko’s board. Last term I worked on member events and this year I’m going to be the chairperson of Talko. I’m also in the Helga’s board of representatives. I’m expecting this year to be extremely exciting and eventful. Best memory of my freshman year was definetely Freshman party. It was one of the funniest days of my life! Remember to have fun and see you at the school! ;) Janne Hujakka – Vice Chairperson of the Board
Hello there! I’m Janne, Talko ry’s vice-chairman in term 2019. Sometimes I’m actually a nice guy. I am very positive and open for even those craziest ideas. My philosophy is that deadlines are more like guidelines and there are also other things in life apart from studying. If I’d study as hard as do other nonstudying-related stuff, I might be a brilliant student. I am just starting my third year in Haaga-Helia and spent most of my time in Malmi campus studying HR and management. Also, I am Helga tutor and deputy member of Haaga-Helia’s student council. My best memory from my freshmen year was all the people who I get to meet. Since starting my studies, my social networks have exploded. 28
