2021 EUHA Executive Committee and Council of Honour: A good choice!

EUHA President Beate Gromke and EUHA Vice President Eva Keil-Becker will remain in office and continue to lead the association and its successful course in a second term. Peter Möckel was elected from the existing ranks of the executive committee as the new Vice President and Treasurer, replacing Jürgen Matthies after thirteen years of successful work. Peter Möckel has been active in the executive committee since 2019. He is committed, for instance, to expanding the EUHA’s social media and online marketing activities. Iris Rademacher was no longer available for election. Nicole Meyer and André Fiedler were unanimously elected as new members of the executive committee.

André Fiedler is a master craftsman of hearing aid acoustics, audio therapist, hearing therapist, and hearing trainer. He is also a CI acoustician and business economist. His company, Hörspectrum Fiedler, has two branches in Fürth, Franconia. He loves soccer and is a real family man. André Fiedler appreciates commitment, social projects are also close to his heart. As an entrepreneur, he sees it as his duty to act in a sustainable and future-oriented manner outside the daily routine.

Nicole Meyer is a master craftswoman of hearing aid acoustics. She took over the business Hörgeräte Meyer in Mönchengladbach from her parents, Bernhard and Margit Meyer, who opened the company in 1963. Nicole Meyer is a woman who loves to accept responsibility and show commitment.

EUHA President Beate Gromke: “I look forward to the next term of office with this great executive committee, and thank everyone for their commitment. My special thanks go to Jürgen Matthies, who is stepping down as a Vice President and is now Chairman of the Council of Honour. Likewise, I should like to thank Iris Rademacher, who is leaving the executive committee.”
