Tennis Europe’s Board of Management has approved the composition of its committees for the period 2024-2028.
A total of 85 committee members will serve across the organisation’s four main advisory committees, following nominations from 34 of Tennis Europe’s 48 active member nations.
The figures show an improvement in gender representation across all committees, with 31 females (36.5%) and 54 males (63.5%) due to serve in the current electoral term. While this is an increase from 33.3% female representatives in 2021-2024, Tennis Europe's long-term aim remains to achieve a 50/50 gender balance on all committees.
