On 29th April 2016 in Tampere, Finland during the AETF Voting Congress we will jointly choose the authorities of All Europe Taekwon-Do Federation – Board of Directors and Revisory Commission for years 2016 -2020.

During the meeting held on 9th January 2016 in Warsaw, Poland the AETF Board of Directors approved the Guideline for the AETF Voting Congress 2016.

According to the Guideline the proposals of the candidates to the AETF Board of Directors and AETF Revisory Commission should be sent by the National Association five weeks prior to the AETF Congress - before or on 23rd March 2016. Five weeks term results from the fact that the AETF Secretary General should send the final Agenda with the list of candidates at the latest one month before the Congress.
