Informations on the association<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Executive committee<\/strong><\/p>\n Board of Directors<\/p>\n The Board of Berliner CSD e. V. consists of five members and is elected by the General Assembly. The most recent board elections took place at the General Assembly on 16 October 2025. The General Assembly confirmed Marcel Voges and Manfred Lehmann in their positions. Carolina Philipps and Julia Miosga were newly elected to the Board. Thomas Hoffmann still has one year remaining in his term. In addition, the General Assembly decided for the first time to introduce a full-time board position. With the introduction of this position, Berliner CSD e.V. is entering a new phase of professionalization. As a full-time board member, Marcel Voges will in future focus on building new structures and further developing the association. For this role, he has taken leave from his previous position as a trade union secretary.<\/p>\n Carolina Philipps<\/strong> (elected for 1 year by the General Assembly on 16 October 2025)<\/em><\/p>\n Thomas Hoffmann<\/strong> (elected for 2 years by the General Assembly on 23 September 2024)<\/em><\/p>\n Julia Miosga<\/strong> (elected for 2 years by the General Assembly on 16 October 2025)<\/em><\/p>\n Manfred Lehmann<\/strong> (elected for 2 years by the General Assembly on 16 October 2025)<\/em><\/p>\n Marcel Voges<\/strong> (Full-time Board Member, elected for 2 years by the General Assembly on 16 October 2025)<\/em><\/p>\n \n <\/p>\n The executive committee decides independently on all membership matters (membership applications, exclusions, cancellations, fee reductions, etc.), on personnel contracts (employment and fee contracts, terminations, invitations to tender) and on legal matters concerning the association. For all other matters, decisions are made together with the Head of Production, advisors of the CSD team, in the responsible working groups or – for minor decisions – by the responsible staff.<\/p>\n \n Volunteers, full- and part-time jobs and project work<\/strong><\/p>\n \n The work that arises from the association’s activities and the responsibility that goes with it can no longer be managed by the board alone. However, the voluntary structure defines the entire association and thus also the CSD team. Only for core tasks and in core areas that are necessary for the maintenance of the association and the insurance of the CSD demonstration and the CSD finale, fees or salaries are paid at all, which are often significantly below the usual market prices thanks to the high voluntary commitment of those involved.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n All tasks are currently covered almost exclusively by volunteers or occasionally by freelancers. Since 2019, all central concerns and activities of the association are usually coordinated by the position of the “Head of Production”. In addition to organizing the business operations of the Berliner CSD e.V. association, this person is responsible in particular for the preparation, implementation and follow-up of the annual main event. All those who work actively and year-round – as board members, employees, volunteers or honorary staff – form the CSD team and thus the personnel core of the Berliner CSD e.V. Due to the pandemic, this position currently cannot be filled.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Due to the working group structure and numerous independent projects, volunteering at the CSD is quite flexible and can be adapted to one’s own needs as well as to external circumstances. In addition to a regular year-round commitment, a project-related collaboration – e.g. for graphics and design, project and legal advice, transportation, errands, special club events – or a voluntary support on the “main action days” around the CSD is possible. E.g. as a supervisor for the family\/sport membership area, as a driver, in the accessibility area, for errands, distribution, transport, set-up and dismantling, briefings, service tasks, admission controls, at the CSD information booth or support with office administration etc.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n CSD Team<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The CSD executive committee can entrust the CSD team with tasks to ensure the operational implementation of the CSD (from the CSD demonstration, to the finale, press relations, sponsor acquisition, supporting program, project management, etc.) and the association administration (meetings, minutes, accounting, community requests, CSD Forum, etc.). The CSD team is busy with CSD and association tasks throughout the year and meets regularly for the respective team, working group and project meetings. It consists of the CSD board members and all volunteers or honorary staff responsible for the main tasks.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n
