On Track with the Director
The first Management Board meeting as Executive Director was a successful one, I wholeheartedly thank all Management Board members for their trust in the Agency and the lively discussions around key topics for European Union Agency for Railways governance.
A sincere thank you to Paloma Iribas Forcat for her strong leadership, vision, and commitment throughout her mandate as Management Board Chairwoman. At the same time, I am truly pleased to welcome Hinne Groot as a new Chairman of the Management Board as of next week.
Today’s meeting also featured a productive workshop on the Single Programming Document, which will help shape our strategic priorities and guide our actions in the years ahead.
Many thanks to the ERA team for the active participation and support in the preparation of the meetings!
