Overview
The Annual Meeting of the YEE network happened from Thursday, 3rd July to Sunday, 6th July 2025 in Prague and online. Out of 45 member organisations, 25 sent official delegates to discuss, vote and learn about important issues of the network.
Apart from the official delegates, we also welcomed other delegates from the member organisations, candidates to the executive board, internal auditors and the YEE team, including the executive board, staff and volunteers. Overall, the Annual Meeting was attended by 62 people in Prague or remotely.
Changes to YEE Statutes and Rules of Procedure
The general assembly voted in favour of the presented changes to the YEE Statutes and Rules of Procedure. The most significant changes include:
- Removal of the membership fee rates from the YEE Statutes and including them in the membership policy instead
- Formation of Committees by the General Assembly
- Creation of the Supervisory Board
All changes as amended can be found in the updated versions of the YEE Rules of Procedure and YEE Statutes.
Elections
Executive Board 2025-2027
The General Assembly has elected a new executive board for a two-year mandate (the length of the mandate was changed previously during the extraordinary annual meeting in February 2025). Out of 16 candidates, the General Assembly elected the following to represent them in the YEE executive board:
- Enrico Bosters (Studenten Voor Morgen) as chairperson
- Shoghik Ghazaryan (Uniting Bridge) as vice-chairperson
- Alexandra Popescu (Be Teen) as treasurer
- Connah Snape (UKY4N) as board member
- Mariam Svimonishvili (Umbrella) as board member
- Francesc Almendros Viladerrams (Assemblea Euroregional de la Joventut – Euroregió Pirineus Mediterrània) as board member
Internal Auditors
The General Assembly elected one new internal auditor, Ibrahim Tukur, from three candidates, who will play a crucial role in maintaining transparency and accountability within our organisation.
The position of the second internal auditor has not been filled and therefore will be open before and voted on during an extraordinary annual meeting in early 2026.
Membership update
After the Annual Meeting, the YEE network now gathers 47 youth organisations from 23 countries.
New member organisations
We are excited to welcome two new member organisations to our network.
The new members of the YEE network are:
- Maqoor Environmental NGO, based in Armenia
- Youth for a Green Future, based in Bulgaria
The General Assembly did not approve of the new membership of one organisation – Vitality Association based in Moldova.
We look forward to a productive year ahead with our new board members, member organisations, and internal auditors!
