Description

The outgoing YSI Community Board (formerly Community Report Committee) and the YSI Management team present the State of the Community Report, review responsibilities of the Board, and discuss possible future areas of focus for community development

From 2016-2020, Asgeir B. Torfason, Maria C. Schweinberger, Melissa Vergarez Fernandez, Marcos Reis and Danilo Spinola served on the YSI Community Board, then known as the CRC. In this capacity they guided many important developments of our community structures and governance processes. Together with the YSI Management team, this work is outlined in the State of the Community Report, which was prepared for the YSI Plenary.
