Committee
Written by Marko   
Wednesday, 02 April 2008

This group of dedicated volunteers spend their spare (and not so spare) time in order to promote Croatia and organise events for CSYPN members. Of course, it is a privilege to be a part of the Committee and lots of time and effort is spent by each one of the Committee members.

We meet at least once a month to discuss all of our small and big projects, assign relevant tasks and pray that our effort doesn't go to waste.

Committee Members

 

Marko Krznaric - President
Marko
The President

Marko is a part of CSYPN from day 1 and is the only remaining member of the original CSYPN Committee. It seems that he's been president forever, some consider him as a life president, some even call him a dictator.

He comes from Vinkovci, where he lived most of his life. Finished maths in Zagreb, and got his MSc and PhD in London. He's a doctor for computers not homo sapiens, so don't rely on him if you get ill. The picture is from his wedding (he's still not fully aware of how lucky he is) and he barely resembles it as since that day Marko put a few (read >10) kilograms. Of course, Marko'll say that he's perfectly fit.

Karina Arthur

Karina

Karina is a lovely girl who used to throw javelin for Croatia. She can successfully hit you with the javelin from the distance of 500m, at least. You can run (from CSYPN), but won't go far.

Karina speaks a zillion languages, including Islandic (as almost half of the Croats do) and likes sports. Her knowledge of programming languages, for a humanities oriented person, is quite impressive. Don't be shy, just contact Karina in a language of your choice on This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .

 

Vlatka Augustinovic
Vlatka - don't you mess with her
Vlatka

Don't you even dare to say something she doesn't like. If you don't trust me, just have a look at the photo. When around her, try to be as invisible as possible. Buying her drinks helps to get a few brownie points.

Vlatka is volunteering quite a lot - weather it's a film festival in Motovun, Dresden or New York, she'll be there. We are trying to channel some of her energy into our cause. Unlike everybody else, she's a valuable member of the Committee.

Brian Gallagher
Brian
Brian

Brian just cannot life without CSYPN. He used to be on the Committee, thought that he needed a break - and that failed miserably. Now, he's again spreading his wisdom in the Committee.

His job/hobby/life is related to politics and writing about it - and he's very, very good in that. Brian is also the editor of the Croatia Business Report.

Emma Markovic
Emma
Emma

The first thing Emma is going to say about her is "I LOVE Hajduk and Torcida" - everything else is less relevant. Dinamo fans should try to avoid conversation about football and talk about British weather instead. Unless, of course, they got fed up with life. Beside that, Emma likes to party, drink a bit and have a great time. However, even if intoxicated, she'll finish her tasks - probably better and faster.

She's the youngest in the Committee and teaches us about all the things young people like. Also every efficient and hard-working, juggling a few things at once (including her studies), she's a great addition to the Committee.

Paul Ritchie
Paul
Paul

Born down under, Paul has a bit relaxed attitude and it's fun to be around. He's a teacher, which is quite worrying for the British educational system. We're kidding, of course. Yeah, sure.

Paul is a keen organiser and very pro-active, with loads of ideas and initiatives. We're blessed with his involvement.
