SYLWANA PATLASZYNSKA ELECTED AS NEW CHAIRPERSON OF IDO CONTINENTAL CONFERENCE EUROPE

A new chapter begins for the IDO Continental Conference Europe (CCE), as delegates from 25 countries convened in Grodzisk Mazowiecki and online to elect their new Chairperson. Following a formal voting process, Mrs. Sylwana Patlaszynska was elected to lead the CCE into its next phase of growth and development.

The meeting opened with welcome remarks and a moment of silence in memory of Mr. Ralf Josat. Delegates reviewed the annual report and proceeded to the election segment of the agenda. Two candidates were nominated: Mr. Dimitri Covent and Mrs. Sylwana Patlaszynska. Delegates cast their votes by country, following IDO procedures, resulting in Sylwana's election as the new Chairperson.

Statement from Sylwana Patlaszynska, newly elected Chairperson of IDO Continental Conference Europe:

"I am truly honored to have been elected as Chairperson of the IDO Continental Conference Europe. I thank the delegates for their trust and support. Together, we have the power to move European dance forward—with more visibility, more opportunities, and stronger cooperation across nations. I believe in a dynamic and inclusive future, and I am committed to working closely with all of you to bring fresh energy and meaningful progress to our beautiful dance community."

The election marks an important step in strengthening cooperation within the IDO’s European network, setting the stage for innovation, inclusion, and artistic progress in the years ahead.

The date and location for the next CCE annual meeting will be announced soon.
