Skills put to good use

Since my university times I have been actively involved in various organisations. At the moment I am the chairman of the board for Keravan musiikkiopisto, the music institute of my home town. I am also auditor for CISV Finland and member of the nomination committee for FIBS, Finnish Business in Society. Children and youth, intercultural education and sustainable development are all important to me.

I try to put my professional skills to good use in the voluntary work. For example, I chaired the music institute's strategy workshop where we discussed our purpose and future. I also have a reputation for well-prepared meetings.
