Ela is the new OBESSU’s Secretary General: welcome in OBESSUland!

Starting 1st February 2016, OBESSU welcomes the new Secretary General. Originally from Poland, Ela Jakubek was working as an international freelance trainer in the youth sector for the last four years, and previously she was a Project Officer and Volunteering Programme Manager for a development cooperation NGO in Kraków, Poland. Over the last three years she has been managing a network of cultural organisations in Poland – an experience she will be happy to use in her new challenge in OBESSU.

She loves cooking and, at any given time, she can host a delicious dinner party for a few people with whatever is available in her fridge 🙂

As a Secretary General she will be the link between the Board and the Secretariat. She will be coordinating the work of the Secretariat and supporting the Board, as well as the Working Groups and the Pool of Trainers. Her tasks will also include strategic and financial management of the organisation.

If you have any question, please feel free to contact her via email at ela@obessu.org or call the OBESSU office +32 2 893 2414.
