EL Elects New Executive Committee and President

During the European Lotteries (EL) General Assembly on 7 June in Šibenik (Croatia), Members elected a new Executive Committee for the period 2023-25 and appointed Romana Girandon, CEO of Loterija Slovenije, as the first female EL President.

”I am delighted to be elected EL President at this year’s General Assembly. This is a real honour, and I would like to thank the Members for trusting me to lead EL in the next mandate. Over the coming years, I look forward to fulfilling my role together with a strong and experienced Executive Committee, to prove that we, The European Lotteries, are here to benefit society. Together we can make a difference and provide a new momentum for a sustainable and responsible future. I would like to thank especially, the outgoing President Hansjörg Höltkemeier, now EL Honorary President, for his dedication and commitment to EL over the past eight years and wish him all the best for the future,” EL President Romana Girandon said.

The General Assembly took place on the occasion of the 11th EL Congress & Trade Show in Šibenik, Croatia from June 4 to 7. Under the overarching theme “Looking Forward – Lotteries of the Future”, this was an opportunity to reconnect and learn from inspiring keynote speakers as part of a forward-looking programme.
