Soon my time as chairman of the board of Ulkebøl Badminton will end. After several years on the board and the most recent as chairman, it is a natural time to pass on the baton. When I look back at the last 4-5 years, it is clear how much the club has progressed. We were left with a youth department that was under pressure and lacking players. Today, we have virtually full teams all around. It didn’t come by itself. It has come through structure, clear values and a common focus on creating a club where community, passion and fair play are not just words, but something we live by. It has also come through collaboration. A strong coaching staff. Volunteers who take responsibility. A board that works in the same direction. And a culture where we lift as a group. Along the way, the club has distinguished itself outside the hall: – Finalist and top three in the nomination for Denmark’s best badminton club – Nominated for Association of the Year in Sønderborg Municipality For me, it has been a task that has required both leadership, structure, patience and the ability to gather people around a common direction. This is something I will take with me further. Now the time has come for new forces to take over. The club is strong, both organizationally and financially, and a foundation has been created that makes it easy to build on. I am proud of the journey. Proud of the results. And proud to have been part of a community that has managed to turn challenges into development. I look forward to following the club from the outside and seeing how the next chapter is written.
