tekom Europe announces its newly elected delegates
Names of elected delegates are now published
In November 2025, the European members elected their delegates for the country organizations. Elections ran for two weeks, from November 10–23, 2025. Delegates represent the interests of their country organizations in the Assembly of Delegates, the highest decision-making body of tekom Europe. The next Assembly of Delegates will take place online in March/April 2026.
tekom Europe currently has 11 country organizations. In total, we received 26 candidate applications for 9 country organizations, as well as for the position of one common delegate for all members in countries where no country organization has been founded yet. This year, we did not receive candidate applications from tekom Netherlands and tekom Bulgaria. Members of these countries will therefore be represented by the delegate without a CO.
Below, you can find the names of the elected delegates and substitute delegates, along with the country-specific voter turnout figures. The average voter turnout across all country organizations reached 12.9%.
In three country organizations, tekom Österreich, tekom Danmark, and tekom Sweden, executive board members were elected for the following positions: president, vice president, treasurer, and secretary. The other country organizations are still run by initiative committees that are not directly elected by the members. Here, the members vote for the position of delegate/substitute delegate. Both the executive boards and the initiative committees serve as the contact persons and the core of the association on a national level. They organize activities such as events and webinars for their members, engage in marketing activities, and promote the profession.
The term of office is 3 years, starting January 2026. We would like to thank all delegates and members of the initiative committees for their dedication to technical communication and their volunteer work within tekom Europe.
Congratulations to all (newly) elected delegates and substitute delegates!
