We are writing to let you know that Michal Kovacs will be leaving EDYN on April 13th. As you know, Michal helped guide the network through its formative stages. We now have more than 550 members and chapters in 23 countries. That’s an achievement we can all be proud of. We thank him for his leadership and warmly wish him all the best.

Michal will be returning to Spear Hydro, a business he co-founded that harnesses river power to generate electricity.

We’re pleased to announce that Lubica Kovacova, EDYN’s Deputy Director, will assume the position of Acting Executive Director. Please join us in wishing her a warm welcome to this role.”

Jonas, Tami, Kathryn, and Rye
Board of Trustees
