General Assembly

The General Assembly is your chance to shape the future of the EMAlumni Association! Each year, all supportive members are invited to join our annual democratic forum to hear about the Board’s activities, review financial reports, and discuss the association’s goals and direction. Full (supportive) members have the power to vote on major changes affecting our operation and direction, and can vote and be elected to the Board.

Board members are the driving force behind the association’s management and operations. They actively participate in discussions, strategise how to achieve our goals, and lead initiatives like workshops, campaigns, career days, or fundraising efforts. It’s a two-year voluntary commitment.

General Assembly 2025

This year’s General Assembly will take place from 31 May to 15 June 2025. Make sure you have paid your membership fee by 28 May to be able to participate!

Are you interested in becoming a board member or the president of the association? All supportive members may submit their candidacy from 1 to 25 May 2025. We encourage early applications so that you can introduce yourself in our webinar on 14 May.
