The Chair of the Board of Trustees, the Executive Board and the Management of the Foundation congratulated Dr. Ursula Prall, and they look forward to the successful cooperation with her.

After 12 years, the long-time Chairman of the Executive Board, Jörg Kuhbier, no longer ran for re-election. Kuhbier has decisively shaped the work of the Foundation from the outset, and has set a great deal of emphasis on building the framework conditions for offshore wind energy in Germany. Kuhbier was unanimously elected as Honorary Chairman by the Board of Trustees and as such will be able to continue to contribute his many years of experience into the Foundations’ work.
