A new strategic e-meeting for the ALDA Governing Board: monitoring ALDA's project during Coronavirus

Following its most recent online get-together at the end of March, the ALDA Governing Board virtually met again on May 27th, 2020. 

Together with our President Oriano Otocan and our Secretary General Antonella Valmorbida, the Governing Board members tackled a dense agenda in relation to the continued Covid-19 emergency and to the ongoing, though adapted, implementation of ALDA's projects for the rest of 2020. 

The session included the approval of 2019 accounts for ALDA and ALDA+ as well as an update for 2020; the approval of ALDA's programme and budget for the current year; a discussion on the strategic views for the 2020-2024 time period; and a general update of the situation for both ALDA and the Local Democracy Agencies.

In consideration of the latest global developments, in addition, the Governing Board was provided with an update on the management of the Covid-19 crisis and of the related ALDA risk assessment analysis. 

The meeting then concluded with a debate on the upcoming General Assembly, and the participants had the opportunity to review together the ALDA calendar and the latest news with regards to ALDA members.

It was undoubtedly a very rich meeting - complete with the hope that the next one may perhaps happen in person again!
