Forpersonsskifte i DTU Sport
DTU Sport har fået ny forperson. Foreningen vil gerne sige en stor tak til den afgående forperson, John Lauersen og byde velkommen til den nye forperson, Charlie Johansen, der begge har været engageret og ydet en stor indsats i foreningen i mange år.
Om den nye forperson
Charlie Johansen, der arbejder som laborant i DTU Kemi, har været forperson i DTU Climbing siden 2018. I 2019 blev han valgt ind i DTU Sports bestyrelse som klubrepræsentant og har siddet i bestyrelsen siden. Derudover er han også med i bestyrelsen i DGI Storkøbenhavn. Om sin nye rolle som forperson fortæller Charlie:
”Jeg brænder for at styrke forbindelsen mellem DTU og DTU Sport samt sikre, at sport og fysisk aktivitet bliver en naturlig del af livet på DTU. Mit mål er at sætte sport på dagsordenen og sikre, at de studerendes trivsel og studiemiljø prioriteres, så sporten bliver tænkt med, når der bygges og udvides.
Derudover ønsker jeg at skabe rammerne for, at DTU Sport kan udvide sit fokus til også at omfatte lokationer uden for Lyngby. Med statens ambition om at flytte flere studerende væk fra hovedstaden, er det afgørende, at DTU Sport følger med og tilbyder relevante aktiviteter, så både studerende og ansatte kan få adgang til sports- og aktivitetstilbud, uanset hvor de befinder sig.
Jeg vil også arbejde for, at DTU's medarbejdere får bedre muligheder for at engagere sig i idræt og aktiviteter. Alle på DTU – både studerende og ansatte – skal have adgang til et bredt udvalg af sports- og aktivitetstilbud i DTU Sports regi, som kan fremme både fællesskab, sundhed og velvære.”
Om den afgående forperson
John Lauersen arbejder som teamleder for Netværk og Telefoni i AIT, og i 1996 startede han en cykelklub under foreningen, der dengang hed ”Idrætten ved DTU”. Samme år blev han stemt ind i bestyrelsen som klubrepræsentant, og han sad i bestyrelsen frem til 2002. I 2013 blev han udpeget af HSU (repræsentant for de ansatte) til bestyrelsen og blev næsten med det samme udpeget til forperson. John sidder stadig i bestyrelsen som HSU-repræsentant.
Johns hjerte banker for foreningsarbejdet, og han har været med til at forme foreningen, der har været i en rivende udvikling de senere år med bl.a. overgang fra kontant betaling til et online administrationssystem, udvikling af en strategi for foreningen, håndtering af GDPR og meget andet.

Change of chairperson at DTU Sport
DTU Sport has a new chairperson. The association would like to say a big thank you to the resigned chairperson, John Lauersen, and welcome the new chairperson, Charlie Johansen, both of whom have been committed and made a great effort in the association for many years.
About the new chairperson
Charlie Johansen, who works as a laboratory technician at DTU Chemistry, has been chairperson of DTU Climbing since 2018. In 2019, he was elected to the DTU Sports board as a club representative and has been on the board ever since. He is also on the board of DGI Greater Copenhagen.
“I am passionate about strengthening the connection between DTU and DTU Sport and ensuring that sports and physical activity become a natural part of life at DTU. My goal is to put sport on the agenda and ensure that the students' well-being and study environment are prioritized so that sport is considered when building and expanding.
In addition, I want to create the framework for DTU Sport to expand its focus to include locations outside Lyngby. With the government's ambition to move more students away from the capital, it is crucial that DTU Sport follows up and offers relevant activities so that both students and employees can access sports and activity offers wherever they are.
I will also work to ensure that DTU employees have better opportunities to engage in sports and activities. Everyone at DTU - both students and employees - must have access to a wide range of sports and activity offers under the auspices of DTU Sports, which can promote community, health and well-being,” says Charlie about his new role as a chairperson.
About the resigned chairperson
John Lauersen works as team leader for Network and Telephony at AIT, and in 1996 he started a cycling club under the association, then called “Idrætten ved DTU”. That same year, he was voted onto the board as a club representative and served on the board until 2002. In 2013, he was appointed by the HSU (employee representative) to the board and was almost immediately appointed chairperson. John is still on the board as a HSU representative.
John's heart beats for association work, and he has helped shape the association, which has been in rapid development in recent years, including the transition from cash payment to an online administration system, developing a strategy for the association, handling GDPR and much more.
