Who is the EJB Team?
The EJB Team consists of 4 people. At the EJBM, the European Junior Branch Meeting, in Lisbon 2008 it was decided that instead of working separately as ReCos and PECos that they would work as a team of four people known as the EJB Team.
Since the EJB Team is no longer working as ReCos and PECos, the EJB Team has introduced the EJB Neighbourhoods. Each member of the EJB Team is contact person to one of the four neighourhoods. Here you can see who is the EJB Contact Person for each country.
Currently the team is as follows:
- Nic Hargreaves (GBR) - South West Neighbourhood - nic.hargreaves@gb.cisv.org
- Laura Zunica (ITA) - Mediterranean Neighbourhood - l.zunica@it.cisv.org
- Louise Dane (SWE) - Central Eastern Neighbourhood - louise.dane@se.cisv.org
- Camilla Wetzel (DEN) - Baltic Neighbourhood - camilla.wetzel@cisv.dk
To send an e-mail to the whole team you can do so at ejbteam@ijb.cisv.org
Two new members are elected to the team each year for two years. This works in a rolling system like IJR. The elections for the new EJB Team members take place each year at the EJBM.
