What I did

As event lead I coordinated each General Assembly from start to finish. Most years the Assembly was hosted by a member organisation in another country, so I worked closely with the local hosts on venue, programme and logistics, and steered our own team through preparation, the event itself and the follow-up.

Why it matters

A General Assembly is where members review the network's progress, set strategic priorities and carry out formal governance duties. It has to run on time, follow statutory rules and work for delegations from across Europe.

In Antalya the local host took on most of the logistics, and I coordinated with them and steered our side.
