Following the invitation from its first President, the members of the Executive Board were host by the German Olympic Academy for their first Executive Board meeting in Frankfurt on January 16-17 2019.
This was the opportunity to talk about the main purposes of this new organization, to implement first projects and set up administrative structures.
But it was especially the occasion for the board members to sign the application forms for the official registration process with the German legal authorities prepared by the notary Dr. Joachim HABETHA.
