CECODHAS Housing Europe Members' Bi-weekly Newsflash


Friday, July 4th 2014 will be marked in the calendar of the European Federation of Public, Cooperative and Social Housing as a day of changes at many levels. CECODHAS Housing Europe members organisations gathered together at the General Assembly held in Versailles within the frame of Solar Decathlon Europe 2014 to make a series of decisions which will not only influence CECODHAS Housing Europe itself but also the voice of our sector in Europe. 

We thank all our members for their active participation and work undertaken together for these new times at CECODHAS Housing Europe ahead.

 
CECODHAS HOUSING EUROPE NEWS
NEW FACES AND NEW STRUCTURE AHEAD OF NEW CHALLENGES



Marc Calon has been elected as the new president of CECODHAS Housing Europe.

A few words about Marc Calon...
 
He loves the land and he has always had a connection with it, even if he had to find alternative ways to combine things that theoretically would not match. Born in Flanders, he studied Agricultural Engineering in Wageningen and then worked as a teacher and director in agricultural organizations. Then, it was time for the political scene. In 1995 he was elected a member of the Provincial Council of Groningen, while between 1999 and 2009 he served on the Provincial Executive for Groningen. Over the last couple of years he has been the chairman of Aedes, the umbrella organisation of housing corporations in the Netherlands.

Marc Calon succeeds Kurt Eliasson, and charters the path the organisation should follow through the major future challenges following the structural reform process successfully led by Eliasson and approved by the General Assembly in Versailles.
