It was offially announced at the EFAy General Assembly that the EFAy Coordinator, Eva Bidania, would be finishing her contract with the EFAy at the end of April 2008.

Eva will however be staying in contact with the EFAy − and even working in the same office − after she was offered the job of policy advisor with the EFA where she will be taking over from Jordi Perales.

Eva started working as the EFAy Coordinator after the 2005 EFAy General Assembly in Rennes, Brittany where she was formally voted into the position. However after working three years for the EFAy, she said that she was now looking for a new challenge. Rhisiart Tal−e−bot, President of the EFAy, said:

“We will certianly be sorry to see Eva leave the EFAy. Over the past three years she has proved herself invaluable to the smoothe functioning of the organisation and a pillar of strength to Bureau Members.

We wish her good luck in her new job and look forward to working alongside her in her new role.”

The EFAy are now waiting to hear if they will receive funding from the European Commission for a new Coordinator position.
