Board of Directors of YMCA Thessaloniki
The YMCA Thessaloniki is governed by a Board of Directors, elected by the regular members of the Brotherhood through a secret ballot. The Board consists of 24 members, serving a three-year term, with one-third of the members being renewed annually. Members who have served two consecutive three-year terms cannot be re-elected until one year has passed since their departure.
This year’s elections took place on Monday, March 17, 2025.
The Executive Committee, comprising the President, the First and Second Vice Presidents, the General Secretary, the Treasurer, and two members, is elected by the Board of Directors. It serves as the coordinating body of YMCA Thessaloniki’s administration and convenes at least twice a month at the President’s invitation.
In addition to the Executive Committee, the Board of Directors may establish committees composed of regular members, chaired by Board members.
