This election cycle signals both continuity and change within the board's structure, reflecting a dynamic approach toward advancing ELIA's mission. While Aleksandrina Karabasheva, Maii Abdel-Wahab, Nenad Andricsek, and Tony D’Angelo continue their roles, the departure of Anu Carnegie-Brown, Alina Birsan, and Milena Spelta Parenti marks the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. This mix of seasoned and new members is expected to energize ELIA's agenda to bolster member success and extend industry benefits. These new board members are seen as pivotal agents in furthering ELIA’s agenda of business acceleration and broader member support, a vision clearly articulated by the association itself.

With three promising candidates, Mohamad Samir, Kaori Myatt, and Maria De Rose, emerging in this election but not securing seats, the level of interest and quality of contenders underline a strong commitment within the ELIA community. The association extended gratitude to all members participating in the election process, underscoring the essential role member engagement plays in shaping ELIA's future. The collective efforts of these individuals hint at a robust, member-driven governance that aims to harness diverse perspectives for the greater good of the language services industry.

These board changes are crucial as ELIA continues to navigate and influence the language industry's evolving landscape. As Alp Dilgen, Diego Cresceri, and Nuria Castro Gay step into their roles, their collective efforts will determine how effectively the organization can meet its objectives and respond to the industry's challenges. The infusion of new leadership, combined with the experienced guidance of current board members, positions ELIA to enhance its impact and elevate its contributions to the sector.
