The Board is the executive part of the association. The Board meets 4 times a year and delivers its annual report to the PRIVILEGED MEMBERS at the AGM.

E.A.I.V.T. THINK-TANK
To make sure the association has the right agenda works on the relevant issues of our trade we have created an “extended board”, called the E.A.I.V.T. Think-Tank.
This group of between 5-8 members with extensive market knowledge is the creative mind of E.A.I.V.T. The Think-Tank assists the board in its deliberations and suggests activities and topics for the political agenda of our Association. All “difficult” board decisions are discussed in the Think-Tank as well and the results of its work are referred to the General Assembly.
