Dear ESNers

For most of us the post-AGM depression has arrived. Our Belgian delegation of 30+ ESNers attended AGM Germany 2017 (20-24 April) in Berlin. One of the most important decisions is that the network elected the new International Board. Tim Bastiaens will be the new Treasurer of ESN International. We can't wait to see you all again in Mons for BNP III, where we will elect the new National Board and Coordinators of ESN Belgium. 

Check out our May Partner in the Spotlight further in this newsletter: Eurosender
