On April 21, the ESFTUG’s Samtredia branch organization’s reporting-election conference was held. 42 delegates attended the conference and unanimously elected Zoia Janashia as the head of ESFTUG’s Samtredia branch organization.

Candidate of ESFTUG’s Samtredia branch organization’s head, Zoia Janashia, presented organization’s 4-year activity report, after that she introduced organization's priorities and short-term and long-term plans. She noted that in 2014, on #1 reporting-election conference, one of the main priorities was named - development and strengthening of ESFTUG’s Samtredia branch organization, what means attracting and fastening of members. “In 2014, we had 157 members, today we have 405 members.”

Despite the fact that the number of members was increased, we can’t calm down, because for me still topical and priority issue is attraction of new members and fastening of old members.

Membership is prevented by the factor that it is still low civil consciousness, personal freedom and quality of activity “- mentioned Zoia Janashia.
