The board
The board consists of 14 members elected by the general meeting for a period of two years.
The voting procedure for the functions of President and Vice-President is exclusively electronic. The other 12 board members are directly elected during the general meeting.
The members of the board whose mandate expires can stand for re-election. Only active anesthesia trainees can apply for a position on the board. A board member takes an active role in our association and in the various task forces. Some board members represent our association at national and international associations (SARB, ESRA,…).
