The AEC General Assembly (GA) took place in the afternoon of Saturday 16 November in the frame of AEC’s Annual Congress 2024.
During the GA, AEC President Deborah Kelleher presented the activities for 2024, emphasising that it has been a very successful year for the network. Following this, AEC Communication Coordinator Alessandra Callegari provided an update on communication strategies and shared details about concrete dissemination activities. The General Assembly also featured insights from MusiQuE Chair Jacques Moreau and Board member Ankna Arochiam.
Decisions taken by the GA
During the General Assembly, AEC active members voted on a range of key documents, including those addressing crucial financial matters such as the proposed AEC budget and the updated membership fees for 2025.
In addition, they were introduced to the AEC Sustainability Policy and Action Plan, marking a significant milestone in the organisation’s ongoing commitment to the green shift.
The General Assembly also formally approved the AEC Strategy 2030, which outlines four strategic objectives, complemented by a fifth organisational strand, that will serve as the foundation for the AEC’s future operations. The Strategy will soon be available on the AEC website.
Moreover, the General Assembly welcomed the 2024 cohort of new members, bringing the total number of AEC members to 309, consisting of 270 active members and 39 associate members. This achievement sets a new record for AEC membership, reflecting the growing influence and reach of the organisation.
