  • Synnöve Nüchter, Board member of the dbb's Federal Women's Representation, as President of the Commission on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM)
  • Maik Wagner, Chairman of the dbb's social security insurance union GdS, as Vice-President of the Commission on Employment and Social Affairs (SOC)
  • Sabrina Pellerito, Adviser at the Italian Cisal trade union, as Vice-President of the Commission on Employment and Social Affairs (SOC)
  • Romana Deckenbacher, Vice-President of CESI's affiliate Eurofedop, as Vice-President of the Commission on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM)
  • Carmen Jaffke, Member of the Executive Committee of the Luxembourgish CGFP trade union, as Vice-President of the Commission on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM)

Their mandate will run until CESI's next Congress, foreseen in 2029.

CESI Secretary General Klaus Heeger said: "I am most glad that CESI's Commissions on Employment and Social Affairs and on Women's Rights and Gender Equality will both have a highly competent leadership during the next years. Eva Fernández Urbón, Maik Wagner and Sabrina Pellerito for the SOC Commission and Synnöve Nüchter, Romana Deckenbacher and Carmen Jaffke for the FEMM Commission bring together a wealth of expertise and experience in activism in employment and gender equality respectively. All have a proven track record of successful interest representation for working conditions and equal opportunities in their countries and national trade unions. At the European level, they will be a strong leadership for CESI to advocate decent employment and equal rights for our membership at large."
