Henke reelected chairwoman of World Lithuanian Community

“Thank you for your trust. We’ll work together as we face big challenges in 2019: elections, the (dual citizenship) referendum and the Year of World Lithuanians,” she said after being reelected for her second three-year term of office.

Eighty-six out of 118 delegates of the LWC Seimas voted for Henke. She was challenged for the post by Dalia Asanavičiūtė of Britain.

The delegates also elected a new LWC board, and control and dispute commissions.
