Dansk Live chair Lars Månsson Sloth steps down
Dansk Live is on the lookout for a new chair following the resignation of longtime board member Lars Månsson Sloth.
Sloth, who has also stepped down from his position at music organisation Gimle, joined the board at the Danish trade body in 2012 and has served as chair since 2018.
“Lars has been of great importance to the association’s development in recent years, and his routine and his friendly and calm disposition will be missed,” it says a statement.
“Lars was a great support to the secretariat’s work”
Esben Marcher, head of secretariat at Dansk Live, credits Sloth for his crisis management work during the pandemic.
“The dialogue between the board and the secretariat of Dansk Live is very close, and my collaboration has been particularly close with Lars,” says Marcher. “Lars has helped to move Dansk Live as an association – both organisationally and politically.
“Lars was a great support to the secretariat’s work, not least during the corona crisis, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank him many times for the cooperation”
Deputy chair Søren Eskildsen will take over temporarily until a permanent replacement is found.
