The votes in the 2019 Elia Election have now been counted and we are pleased to announce the Directors who will lead the association into the future:

Manuele Vecchi Aglatech 14, Italy	Richard Brooks K International, UK	Alina Birsan AB Language Solutions, Romania

Congratulations to Manuele for re-election to the Elia Board, and welcome to Richard and Alina.

We would also like to say a big thank you to both outgoing Elia board members – Françoise Bajon and Steve Lank – for their very generous contribution to the development of the association during their time as President and respectively Treasurer.

Thank you to all the Elia Members who voted in the election, and to all ten candidates. We received a great response to our call for candidates for the Elia board and the results were a very close call – a real testament to the growth of the industry and talented leaders within it.

The newly-elected Directors will officially take their place on the Elia Board in October 2019, just before ND The Hague. The Elia Board of Directors share their time, experience and insights to help develop Elia’s role in the language industry and we look forward to working with the new Board in our continuing mission to accelerate the success of your language service company. This is an exciting time to join Elia and help contribute to the development of the language industry!
