Music club with a younger board of directors

The general meeting and new elections of the aura youth music association were harmonious. The youth band under the direction of johannes hammerl played two polkas and a waltz to start the evening and to get into the right mood.
Some changes in the board were inevitable, bringing women’s power and more youthful freshness, just in line with the club name.
Roland hofmann, who held the position of chairman of the board for six years, virtually stepped back into the second member and took over the post of secretary. In his review, he pointed out that he had consolidated the association, which was in a difficult situation in 2012, and reformed it in part by adapting the articles of association to the new situation. The JMV is on solid ground, is musically well positioned and financially secure. Jutta hofmann was elected as the new managing director.
The musical director, johannes hammerl, who was re-elected, listed the musical achievements of the youth band and the main orchestra. Our conductor meike reidelbach has a rough share in this. All in all, the association has presented itself convincingly, with both traditional and concert performances to report.
Adequate replacements were found for the retired members of the board, whose work was appreciated. There were eliminated: 1.Treasurer marlene buttner, 2. Treasurer kerstin muller, the assessors rolf schafer, edgar lippert and martin kaiser. They were replaced by: 1. Treasurer martina buttner, 2. Treasurer vroni hirsch, three young members: pia laak, dunja muller and jule simon.
Long-serving board members were elected to the council of elders: winfried schmitt, daniela schaupp.
The ten-member board consists of seven women and three men.
With this, the youth music association is well positioned again and can meet its future tasks.
