"The Board consists of a chairperson, a vice chairperson and 2-7 other board members. The Board carries the Society's legal and fiscal responsibility, but in practice the largest part of the workload revolves around one thing: EuroPython conference organisation. Board members currently handle substantial parts of the planning, decision-making, coordination, and operational oversight of the conference. This requires: Understanding how the conference is structured and run Being able to work with volunteer teams and external partners Managing recurring issues around finances, logistics, and continuity"
"Beyond the conference, the Board also oversees membership, budgets, grants, infrastructure, and long-term planning and sustainability (including hiring an event manager, selecting future locations, strengthening outreach, managing trademarks, legal compliance, and many more). Furthermore, specifically for 2026: Hiring the second part-time Event Manager in the EP2026 location. Finaid and reimbursements restructuring Building and coordinating the EP2026 Team. Time Commitment Serving on the Board is a volunteer role, and it does take a steady amount of time each week."
The General Assembly will convene online via Zoom on Wednesday, 17 December 2025 at 20:00 CET, and EPS membership is required to participate. The meeting agenda includes election of the new Board as defined in the bylaws (Article 8). The Board comprises a chairperson, vice chairperson, and 2–7 members, holding legal and fiscal responsibility while primarily managing EuroPython conference planning, coordination, decision-making, and operations. Additional Board duties include membership oversight, budgets, grants, infrastructure, long-term planning, and legal compliance. Specific 2026 priorities include hiring a second part-time event manager, restructuring finaid and reimbursements, and building the EP2026 team. Board service requires biweekly evening meetings and ongoing asynchronous work, increasing during conference season.
