1. AYY’s organisation sector in 2017

In 2017 the member of the Board responsible of organisational affairs is Ville Myllylä. In addition to organisational affairs, Myllylä’s areas of responsibility as a Board member are facilities and the Council. Ahto Harmo continues as the specialist on communications and organisational affairs. The email for the organisation sector will remain jarjestoasiat@ayy.fi, and the email for facility-related issues is tilat@ayy.fi. To reach IT, email tietotekniikka@ayy.fi.

 

2. AYY’s lost property practices have changed

Up till now, it has been possible to bring objects from clothes and bags to items of value to AYY, found in the one-off rental premises of AYY or the campus area. Due to a lack of resources, the lost property service has discontinued at the end of 2016 and lost items will not be accepted at the office of AYY.

This means that passing on clothes or bags found in the premises of AYY or the campus to lost property offices or their owners is at the responsibility of the event organisers. It will only be possible to bring phones, wallets, keys and spectacles to the service point of AYY. Travel cards found are to be returned to the service points of HSL or given to bus drivers, who will pass them on to HSL.

 

3. AYY’s association training in English on January 16th

AYY’s association training in English will be held on 16th of January from 4 pm to 7 pm at AYY’s office (Otakaari 11, Espoo (upstairs)).

The training will include communications and the basics for association work, but you can also wish for specific topics.

The target group is English speaking association actives and the space is limited (approx. 20 persons), so please attend only if you are in the target group. Max. 4 persons per association. If there are more than four persons in your association’s actives that are in the target group and they wish to participate, please contact the organizational affairs specialist Ahto Harmo (ahto.harmo@ayy.fi).

You can sign up here: https://lomake.ayy.fi/yhdistykset/ayys-association-training-in-english-jan-2017/. Sign up closes on Monday 16th of Jan at 8 am.
