At the AGM in December 2024 the new board of our committee was elected.

We are happy to announce that our long-term chairman Edwin Flatschart agreed to remain in his function, which guarantees a smooth continuation of our activities for the coming years. It is his untiring efforts that have made so many contacts, projects and initiatives possible over the years. 

But looking into the further future he suggested installing the function of a chief executive, which is now filled by Gabriele Bajalan. As a long-term language teacher has been a member for about 8 years and has already travelled to our sister cities Altoona (2017), Clichy (2023) and Heidenheim (2024). Besides that, she has supported our successful Youth Unlimited initiative a couple of times and assisted in acting as interpreter for English and French speaking delegations. 

Our  "Schriftführer", secretary Karl John, our "Mr Up-to-the-minute", whose minutes and emails have always been spot on, is now stepping back a little and thankfully Roswitha Hochhauser and Eva Riebler are filling his position.

Our "financial side" is still in the well-tried hands of Karl Tatzer and Günter Schraik.

The sister city committee must of course also think about the more distant future and therefore is extremely happy to have some young members in executive functions:

Alexander Heihs and Markus Reichelt as deputy chairmen and Antonia Weinzierl, a new member, as deputy to Gabriele Bajalan.
