---

1) Jonas was elected as chairman (initially for a 3 month trial period), and Andreas was elected as vice chairman.

2) The former chairman's tasks were examined, and several of them have been delegated so the chair is not as "heavy" as before.

Suggestions from board members

• Wine tasting/ tasting event 
• Music event at Cafe Paradis – e.g. jazz and lecture on music (Amin)
• Recurrence of the Cocktail event (Laura)

5) Other things

• Recruitment of new members and increased visibility with external communication:
  External communication about the Staff Association's existence and events is needed to make us more visible and recruit more members at BSS.
  Andreas has created a very good paper for this and he will be the prime mover in this increased effort - but all will follow up and help out at the departments and in other contexts. One suggestion was to contact HR and have them include information about the staff association at every new employment (Andreas and Jonas will follow up).
