🌟 Congratulations to Oana Țoiu for becoming the new Vice President of the Romanian Parliament! This huge achievement reflects a journey of unwavering commitment and sustained leadership, which encapsulates what the #EYL40 community of leaders stands for. We are proud to count you as one of our alumni, dedicated to crafting innovative responses to current challenges and positively affecting the lives of future generations.
Honored to share the news that I have been entrusted with the role of Vice President Chamber of Deputies in the Romanian Parliament. We face an autumn of political turmoil and the role, as I see it, is no easy task, as it needs the unwavering commitment to speak truth to power but also the perseverence needed to foster collaboration among political factions, on issues that can no longer wait. The national reform on public sector, leaner laws that enable innovation and fast adaptation for Romanian entrepreneurs, future-proof our young generation with more acces to practice and decisions in earlier education years, fighting violence against children and women and eliminating overtaxation on part time work are key laws on our agenda. Grateful to my colleagues and the decade of work that lead us here, greateful for the experts, civil society leaders and entrepreneurs that keep me grounded in my campaign promise to ensure that all voices are heard in the legislative process. For those that whisper to the media that I might be too young for the top 10 ranking positions in the state, a kind reminder. It is true that we all have much to learn and must always remain humble, and this is no exception, and honestly I am not even that young anymore, but even so, I do not stand alone facing the task ahead but as part of amazing international communities with co-horts of social innovator colleagues across continents and my time as a student in them, their current fellowship can help me be wiser than just age itself could: Harvard Kennedy School Public Policy Implementation (IPP), Friends of Europe, Global Shapers Community of the World Economic Forum, German Marshall Fund of the United States memorial fellows, Open European Dialogue and forever close to my heart: AIESEC alumni. My hope is that we can do some more good, together. #parliament #usr #womeninpolitics
