📢 The ETF Road Section welcomes its first female Chair!
Today, members of the ETF Road Section gathered in Warsaw for one of their two annual section meetings, marking an important moment for the section.
👏 A heartfelt thank you to Stefan Thyroke from ver.di , who stepped down as Chair, for his outstanding commitment and achievements. He received a well-deserved standing ovation in recognition of his efforts to strengthen the Road Section and bring ETF’s work beyond Brussels.
✊ We are proud to welcome Elisa Gigliarelli from Filt Cgil Nazionale as the ETF Road Section’s first female Chair. Elisa has been active in the Road Section since 2015 and has served as Vice-Chair since 2019. With her background as a logistics worker and as Head of the International Office of her trade union, she brings valuable experience and a strong trade union perspective to her new role.
We look forward to working together with Elisa as Chair and supporting her in this new chapter. Congratulations, Elisa, and best wishes for every success!
