ONCE AGAIN, ‘GIYASETTIN EYYUPKOCA’ IN THE NEW TERM

In the election, which was entered with a single list, Gıyasettin Eyyüpkoca, receiving all the votes of the attendees, won the 10th Term Board Presidency.

After the election of the boards, Eyyüpkoca, in his thank-you speech, addressed the general assembly, saying, ‘Respected Chairman of the Board, esteemed Board members, esteemed ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank each and every one of you. On this warm day, on the first day of the week, you came here without hesitation. I have a sentence that I always say, and I will continue to emphasize it. Civil society organizations are the alms of your belief. It is the charity of your money and property. I take steps according to that, and I ask you to take steps accordingly. We were elected on your behalf, and we are the people here on your behalf. In everything we do, we ask for your support. You foresaw and accepted this support. On behalf of myself and the Board, I thank you.

“The concept of primary and backup has never existed in our management setup.”

Eyyüpkoca also addressed the distinguished individuals who have been nurtured within LASİAD for years in his speech, stating, “I want to emphasize this by saying, as those who have previously served in our Board know very well, the concept of primary and backup has never existed in our Board of Directors. It will not exist in the future either. We are a Board of Directors with 26 members, 6 members of the audit board, and in addition to these, we elect 5 individuals as Disciplinary Board Members.
