Nominations to the Wallumni Steering Committee
A few years ago the Wallumni network established a Steering Committee that, in collaboration with the Anders Wall Foundation, organizes meetings, events and study trips, works on the development of the network and facilitates contacts between the Foundation and the network. In the beginning of 2018 the Steering Committee appoints new representatives for a period of May 2018 – April 2020 in the following categories: SSE Riga, Rural Development, Chambers of Commerce and Uppsala Scholarships.
Today the Steering Committee consists of eight representatives, one each from the different Anders Wall scholarship categories:
Rural Development – Kenneth Alness
Chambers of Commerce – Anna Lundin
Music Scholarships – Paulina Pfeiffer
SSE Riga – Avo Kaasik
Hanken Helsinki – Thomas Perret
Young Entrepreneurs – Jonathan Nordin
Young Scientists – Ankie Wernolf
Uppsala Scholarships – Niklas Berntorp
The Steering Committee meets 2-3 times per semester, usually in Stockholm. It is possible to participate via Skype/video, if you can't be there in person. Every representative is supposed to be responsible for one of the yearly Wallumni events, in collaboration with the Anders Wall Foundation. The representatives are appointed for two years, with half the Committee being replaced each year.

I år firar Finland 100-årsjubileet av sin självständighet, vilket naturligtvis är ett utmärkt tillfälle för stiftelsen att samla Hanken-wallumnerna till en träff i Helsingfors.
After 30 years as Anders Wall’s personal secretary Marie-Louise Swensson – a familiar face for most Wallumnis – is retiring. To make sure we’ll stay in touch Marie-Louise has been appointed the first ever Honorary Wallumni. Like all new Wallumnis she has been assigned a personal mentor, Anna Lundin.
