Martin Georgi is to continue as chair of German fundraising association Deutscher Fundraising Verband (DFRV) for another three years, and will be joined on the board by a new deputy chair and assessor.
Georgi became the German organisation’s chair in 2019, and was recently unanimously elected to serve another term in office. His career has included leadership roles at the European Youth Forum, Amnesty International Germany and international sight loss charity CBM.
He said: “Personally, I would like to build on the successes of the last three years and do my best to further strengthen membership development and modernise non-profit law.”
The new deputy chair is Heike Kraack-Tichy, and Duda Zeco also joins the six-person board as an assessor.
Kraak-Tichy is the managing director of emcra, which provides training and consulting in the field of EU funding. She said: “I see potential for civil society in Germany to think and work even more in European terms than before.”
Zeco has worked for various communications agencies and is currently a consultant at ZEIT Media. She commented: “A functioning civil society needs a strong culture of giving. I would like to use my fundraising expertise and media skills to do this on the board.”
The election took place during the German Fundraising Congress, which took place in Berlin on the 25-27 September.
