Elli: Priority Skills, Expertise and Experience

World Conference Team • جي إف واي

Financial management, budgets and/or risk management

Skill Level:Expert
As Director of the News Department of a large Media organization, also supervising the Production Departments, I deal with budget and management, on a yearly basis and during extraordinary or special situations. Vital experience also comes from leading or being a member of working teams of voluntary and other bodies, organising conferences, seminars and other activities. In Guiding I had the precious experience of leading, on behalf of GGA Cyprus, the hosting team of the 38th WoCo in 2023.

Resource mobilisation (including Fund development)

Skill Level:Expert
My skills in resource mobilisation are well practised through my profession, as well as through the Cyprus Media Ethics Committee (in the past also as Board Member of the Union of Cyprus Journalists and the Steering Committee of the European Federation of Journalists). Also, through my voluntary work in different bodies.

Strategy, governance and board/committee level experience

Skill Level:Professionally Qualified
I extensively practice strategy planning and governance in my professional life. I have been trained and regularly attend seminars and have experience in different fields (for example political election strategies or projects to promote best practices). I have also been part of bodies planning and putting into action strategic plans on different issues (example: the National Mechanism of Women’s Organisations as a representative of GGA Cyprus for a strategy on gender equality)

Volunteering, programme and learning and leadership development

Skill Level:Professionally Qualified
I have been trained in educative methods, as well as learning and leadership development, and follow seminars year to year, form my work at KES College as a lecturer and journalists’ trainer. I use the methods of education and the skills and experience I gain also in my work in Guiding, as an active member of the Programme Team, with my focus on the leadership development methods and programs.

Strategic Communications

Skill Level:Professionally Qualified
Contacts, human sources of information and strategic communications are part of my everyday work as a journalist (locally, on European level and internationally). These networks with stakeholders of different background and field of action have helped me a great deal also in my voluntary work at GGA Cyprus, and I am sure that they will also open many doors for me and for WAGGGS if elected as World Board member.
