YoungShip Cyprus held its annual general meeting, beginning of March, in Limassol, where members approved the organisation’s plans for the year ahead and elected a new board for the 2026 – 2028 term.

The event took place at the Columbia Plaza Venue Centre, with secretary general Antria Dionysiou guiding attendees through the evening.

In his opening remarks, president Andreas Christoforou thanked guests, representatives of fellow organisations and YoungShip members for their continued backing, guidance and mentorship.

He described such support as “invaluable as we navigate the uncharted waters of our careers and strive to make our mark on the world.”

During the meeting, Georgia Evripidou presented the organisation’s activities for 2025 as well as the action plan for 2026, both of which were unanimously approved by members present.

The financial statements and proposed annual budget, presented by financial secretary Fotini Papachatzaki, were also unanimously approved.

The organisation also paid tribute to outgoing board members concluding their terms, including Christoforou, vice president Eliana Savvidi, Dionysiou and Papachatzaki, thanking them for their service and contribution to YoungShip Cyprus.

The evening went on to introduce the candidates for the new board, followed by what the organisation described as an engaging and constructive exchange with the audience ahead of the vote.

Following the elections, YoungShip Cyprus named Tobias Kreppel as president for the 2026 – 2028 term. The new board also includes Lefteris Charalambous as vice president, Marvin Bielek as general secretary, Panayiotis Charalambous as assistant secretary, and Georgia Evripidou as financial secretary.

Also elected were Daniel Ellinas as programme development secretary, Naya Georgiou as press and media secretary, and Natalia Gregoriou as public relations secretary.

The newly elected board will officially assume its duties on April 4, 2026.
