A brand new Executive Board for EPRA

Elections of the entire EPRA Executive Board took place during the online plenary meeting of the 53rd EPRA meeting on 20 May 2021.

 

The Assembly of EPRA members unanimously elected Ľuboš Kukliš, Chief Executive at the Council for Broadcasting and Retransmission of Slovakia, as the Chairperson.

Ľuboš has been regularly involved in EPRA meetings, as a participant and a speaker, and has a strong knowledge of the network. He joins the EPRA Executive Board for the first time. He replaces Helena Mandić, Director of Legal Affairs at the Communications Regulatory Agency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, who leaves the Board after eight years of involvement, including three years as the Chairperson.

Together with Ľuboš, EPRA members unanimously elected four Vice-Chairpersons:

• Stephanie Comey, Senior Manager at the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, she joins the Board for the first time;
• Maria Donde, Head of International Content Policy at Ofcom, United Kingdom, and EPRA Vice-chair in office;
• Peter Matzneller, Consultant Legal and European Affairs at the Directors Conference of the State Media Authorities in Germany, he joins the Board for the first time;
• Mari Velsand, Director General at the Norwegian Media Authority  and EPRA Vice-Chair in office.

EPRA members warmly welcomed the new elected Board and thanked the outgoing Chair Helena Mandić and Senior Vice-Chair Johanna Fell for the dedication and support they have brought to the EPRA network during their successive mandates.
