Executive Committee
The Executive Committee
The heart of EAIR are its members. But in the background, the Executive Committee (EC) is working to accompany the history of EAIR into the future.
The EC consists of nine people who are responsible for various portfolios. They are volunteers and they are elected by the members for a three-year period. They are responsible for various portfolios.
Since the upcoming tasks cannot only be accomplished by volunteers, EAIR maintains a secretariat. It usually has a full-time position and is responsible for the organisation of EAIR. For the time being, the Secretariat is operating with reduced capacity.
