NEW REGIONAL DIRECTOR FOR CENTRAL EUROPE

Regionalisation, one of the biggest shake-ups in the way YFC works in this Area of Europe, North-Africa & The Middle-East, has been in the drafting and consultation process for most of this year, and, having received the assent of almost all our active programmes, our European Council meetings in Germany last week were examining what the implementation will look like. The plan calls for seven Regions within the Area, each one served by a Regional Director, and I am delighted to report that Jozef Gabor, Chairman of YFC Slovakia, a resident of Vienna in Austria, former staffer with Trans World Radio (which grew out of YFC), lecturer in Media, and speaker of seven or eight European languages, has accepted the position of Director of the Central Europe Region, which comprises Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia and Croatia. I hope that Jozef will be able to start in January.
