Yasin Otuzoglu reappointed as Chairman of the ELCA Committee of Firms

 

The members of the ELCA Committee of Firms have voted unanimously in favour of appointing mr Yasin Otuzoglu for a second term as Chairman of the Committee of Firms. During the recent ELCA-Presidium meeting on October 10th in Brussels, his reappointment is confirmed by announcing the results of the voting.

In a reaction Yasin Otuzoglu declared to be very grateful for the support and to be very motivated to expand the activities of the Committee of Firms in his second term. Yasin: “We have so much to offer to the members of our Committee of Firms. They enjoy actual information from our European network, can take part in our exchange program for students and green professionals and join the professional excursions twice a year. We also promote our wonderful profession with the ELCA Trend Award and the ELCA Green Award. These are good opportunities to get informed and to be inspired. Beside these activities, I want to work on new ideas to support the development of our member companies and to enlarge our green network. Based on our new annual plan 2024, I want to start for example organizing new working groups in the ELCA Committee of Firms, involve new members in our Committee of Firms to further enlarge our green company network, create interest at new associate countries like USA and Singapore and visit our national ELCA-associations to meet current and potential members.”

Yasin points at the relevance of the ELCA-activities for the individual landscape and gardening company. “Besides the actions from the Committee of Firms, ELCA is involved in many more actions on European level such as the EU-funded projects EPLUG and Artemis, the promotion of a green future within SoGreen Alliance, the lobby on crucial legislation like the Nature Restoration Law in EU parliament, EU Green Week and many more. Together we demonstrate our strong voice of the green industry who is working for the green future.”

The Chairman of ELCA Committee of Firms is part of the ELCA Board and works closely together with the ELCA-office in Brussels. Yasin Otuzoglu is looking forward meeting many entrepreneurs and professionals in the landscape and gardening branch during his second term as Chairman.
