This two-part meeting incorporated the 2025 Annual General Meeting, and elections were held for the four Officer positions. The new President is Mairi Rice of Scotland, and new Vice President is Tinna Blåvarg of Sweden. Outgoing President Mette Eggertsen (Denmark) was warmly thanked for her work over the last three years in leading EFPTA through challenging times. Harpa Hafsteinsdóttir (Iceland) and Morag Williamson (Scotland) were re-elected as Treasurer and Secretary, respectively.

Key items on the Agenda were the national reports from Member countries, a review of the EFPTA webinar held in March, progress on the new website, and planning for the EFPTA 2026 Conference to be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, on 16-19 April. Various issues were raised during the two-part meeting, and there was lively discussion amongst the representatives from our 13 Member countries.
