On 22 April 2026 the General Assembly of the TYPO3-Association (GA) approved the results of the board elections. Rachel Foucard and Boris Hinzer were not reelected, and left the board. Jochen Weiland was elected as a new Board member.
The size of the Board was reduced to now six members so responsibilities had to be reassigned. Also with the end of Boris Hinzer’s election period the role of the vice president became vacant.
President of the Board, Oliver Dobberkau, honored the work of the two leaving board members:
“As Boris Hinzer and Rachel Foucard leave the Board, I want to thank them for their many years of service:
Boris, for more than two decades of work across education, fundraising, membership, strategy, and as our Vice President. Rachel, for shaping diversity, inclusion, international development, and governance, since joining the Board in 2020.
Boards renew themselves, but only because people like you give so much to lay the ground for those who follow, and on behalf of the whole Association, I thank you both.”

At the Quarterly Summit of the Association (QSA), 8–9 June in Frankfurt, Germany, the Board concluded on redistributing the fields of responsibility and elected a new vice president.
