The news that our respected colleague Reka passed away has deeply affected us. Reka has been dedicated to EFAD since she became involved in the DIETS project as an Administrative Assistant in 2012. Since then, she has provided administrative services to EFAD and has been the point of contact for many of you as EFAD Office Manager. We are grateful for her dedication and support to EFAD and will continue to remember her as a dear colleague with her kindness, commitment and warm smile. Our thoughts are with her daughter, son, partner, family, and friends.
