The President and Secretary/Treasurer chair the Delegates’ Assembly, ensuring structured and effective discussions. Each delegate represents their respective country, providing a national perspective and contributing to the overall policy of the EANM as proposed by the Board. The Assembly aims to foster collaboration and mutual understanding among European National Societies, ensuring that their collective interests are reflected in the association’s strategic decisions. Through this Assembly, delegates play a crucial role in shaping the direction and policies of the EANM, promoting a unified approach to achieving the association’s goals.

The Delegates’ Assembly meets twice a year – once in the spring and once again during the EANM Annual Congress.
