ELARD Polish Presidency extended until the end of 2027
The General Assembly of ELARD has decided to extend the current Polish Presidency for one additional year, until 31 December 2027. Piotr Sadłocha, representing the Polish Network of Local Action Groups (Polska Sieć Lokalnych Grup Działania), will continue as President of ELARD throughout 2027.
Piotr Sadłocha has served as President of ELARD since 1 January 2025, when Poland took over the Presidency from France. His original two-year term was due to end on 31 December 2026.
The extension ensures continuity in ELARD’s representation and advocacy at a crucial time for the future of LEADER/CLLD and rural development in Europe. With discussions on the EU Multiannual Financial Framework 2028–2034 and the future Common Agricultural Policy ongoing, ELARD will continue to represent the interests of Local Action Groups and rural communities in dialogue with European institutions and stakeholders.
