KASSEL – By a large majority, Dr. Katrin Werkmann was elected the new chairwoman at the adh General Assembly last weekend in Kassel. After the resignation of her predecessor, Felix Arnold, she had already taken over the adh board temporarily since the beginning of July 2016. Moreover, the new statutes of the adh were also adopted at the assembly.
The New German board
The General Assembly at the University of Kassel set the course for the future of the German University Sports Federation. Dr. Katrin Werkmann was given the mandate for another two years in office. Already for the last five months she had provisionally exercised the task of the chairwoman of the board. The former professional sportswoman and graduate of a double degree in business administration and sports had been responsible for the Human Resources and Finance department of the adh since 2015. Jörg Förster, head of Hamburg University Sports, who already belonged to the board from 2013 to 2015, will now be taking over this task. Juliane Bötel (University of Hamburg), Nikola Franic (University of Marburg), Dirk Kilian (HS Darmstadt) and David Storek (University of Lüneburg) were elected to the other four executive board positions. While Bötel, Franic and Kilian already belonged to the previous board, Storek will be a new board member.
Another major issue at the General Assembly was the adoption of the adh-charter and the related new structure of the German University Sports Federation. The main objective of the reform was a simplified participation opportunity as well as greater flexibility concerning decision-making processes. For that reason, several existing committees and councils were revised and partly reshaped.
