Summarize the mandate (most important moments, achievements, etc)

Our mandate of 2021-2022 has been an interesting one so far, all with its ups and downs. During the first months, the Handover Board Meeting and the Summer Board Meeting happened in Porto and Sofia respectively where the entire mandate was set up. We had a successful call for Leaders, Board Assistants, Coordinators and Team/Project Members with almost all the positions being filled and in the meantime little by little, branches have started to organise live events again in the decline of the pandemic.

On some more technical notes of the year so far we managed the change of the mailing system from the old mailman to Google groups. From the first Live Board Meetings, we targeted branches in need of help in order to support them through these events, something that has been continued throughout the mandate. The working environment with the LBACs has been set and we are more than happy with the atmosphere dedication. Further, we tried to promote the use of the HR Strategy to our LBACs and have moved their working folders to Google drive shared drives for easier access. Besides that, all but one Operational Event have been scheduled or already taken place in collaboration with the Teams/Projects and Organising Committees. The EESTech Challenge Final Round has also happened successfully thanks to the Project and LC Milan. Also this year we had a Live Regional Meeting only for Region 5, organised by LC Bucharest, while we were about to have an LRM for Region 1 as well, organised by LC Izmir and JLC Bursa, but it got cancelled due to lack of applications. To cover the needs of the other regions, the LRM of Region 5 accepted participants from other regions as well and the event happened successfully. Finally, some steps towards an Operational Event Guide have been made which is to be released by the end of the mandate.

On the more problematic side of things during the Autumn Congress 2021 our Chairperson resigned. This led to the VC-EA stepping up and covering the position. Since then we have continued as a Board of four while trying to evenly distribute the responsibilities.
