Circus & Dance Finland Board 2026

The Board is elected at the Association’s autumn meeting for a two-year term, with half of the members standing down each year. The member communities nominate candidates for the Board. The members of the Board are personal members, not representatives of the member communities. Circus and dance have an equal number of seats on the Board, but may also elect people with a broader range of expertise.

Chairperson of the board
Lotta Vaulo
