New ECU Committees Rosters Known
The ECU board launched a call for new committee members late 2019 in order to bring in new forces. Numerous candidates applied, giving a largely international roster for the five committees. A total of 47 people from 18 national federations were selected to work in 5 committees.
Ursula Hann (Austria), Marko Sabol (Slovenia) and Riikka Taivassalo (Finland) remain chairs of their committees (Rules, ECL Steering Committee and Championship Committee), while Marko Ebert and Rob Tonnaer got replaced by Anne Achté from Finland and Michael Pasieczny from Denmark on top of the Judges and Athletes and Coaches Committee.
