In 2018, the EYBA was granted a participatory status at the Conference of International Non-governmental Organisations (INGOs) of the Council of Europe.
Due to the complexity of this role, in 2019 the EYBA Executive Committee created a work group including two or three people, member from the EYBA memberships, experimented, interested in understanding the various committees of the Council of Europe, not-for-profit-organisation section, preparing submissions on behalf of the EYBA, and attending the Council of Europe yearly sessions.
This might be quite a bit of work, and work that sits more naturally as running in parallel to the board, with the current President and the immediate Past President also helping/attending the meetings. Also these persons have been on the EYBA Executive Committee already for at least a year, or have been involved in a board of a national young bar.
Update work sessions of this group are included at EYBA General Meeting.
