KY BOARD

A GROUP OF KY MEMBERS IS SELECTED ANNUALLY TO LEAD KY FORWARD. THIS YEAR, THE EXECUTIVE BOARD HAS EIGHT MEMBERS WHO SPEND THEIR 2021 TO HELP THE KY COMMUNITY.

The KY Board is the face and voice of all members. The Board works full-time, which means you won’t be meeting members at many lectures. Board members spend their days in threefold ways: together as a board, representing KY, and each with their own duties. The Board runs the ongoing operations at KY and deals with various tasks. Some of them are more planned, like taking care of the finances and recruitments. Other duties are more emergent, like, COVID-19 restrictions, preparing a new strategy, and deciding on safe environment procedures. A large chunk of time is designated to representing KY. This includes speaking on behalf of members in Aalto University decision-making, participating in working groups with stakeholders, keeping in touch with our fellow business students in Finland and abroad, and more. In addition, each board member has two or more specific responsibilities. The following pages will present you with what each of our board members does on a regular basis. Chair of the Board Niko Ylä-Poikelus splits his time between leading the board, working together with the Executive Director and the vice-chair in managing things at the KY Office, and representing KY in various roles and positions. This year, Niko is also in charge of strategy work. Vice-chair of the Board Elina Rauvala takes care of Educational Affairs at KY. Elina is the right-hand person for Chair of the Board, stepping in whenever needed and having her own responsibilities in leading KY. She also supports our volunteers in KY committees, looks after KY’s finances, and helps our subject clubs in their ventures. The Board is here because of our passion for KY, and this includes meeting our members. Come greet us in Espilä, say hi when you see us around or send a message – we are happy to help and have a chat!
