EWB-SWE NEWS: Changes in the Secretariat

Caroline Edelstam is stepping down from her post as Secretary-General. We thank her for her contributions during her time with the organisation. The Steering Committee has appointed Marianne Grauers as Acting Secretary-General. Ms Grauers will serve in this role until a permanent Secretary-General has been recruited and is in post. She has volunteered with Engineers Without Borders (EWB-SWE) since 2016 and is Vice Chair of the EWB-SWE Board.

Head of Communications, Carin Balfe Arbman, will be leaving EWB-SWE in mid-September. Maja Väpnare has been appointed Head of Communications and will start on 1 September at 20%. From 20 October, she will increase to 30% in that role and, in addition, take on the position of Coordinator for International Projects (70%).
