Hello wonderful YEE enthusiasts!

I am Maggie, I am from Nitra, Slovakia and I am very happy I was chosen as the new Secretary General of YEE!

I just started in the office on Monday, the 2nd of July. The nice Secretariat team is trying to get me into all the work-processes and customs. With customs I mean for example cooking. I will have to learn now how to cook (!), because the office people switch in the kitchen every day and one person cooks for all. That is very, very nice and efficient, I am only afraid that after my cooking we will have to look for new staff. I will try my best to avoid this scenario.

There are a lot of things I still need to learn, therefore Adriana stays with us in the office over the summer time, especially in July, so we make a proper transfer of all responsibilities and she provides me with her valuable know-how about YEE management, administration and fundraising etc.
