Julie Book, IBA European Regional Forum (ERF) Council Member for England

What does being European mean to you?

To me, being European means bringing together different cultures, languages and experiences to create a shared sense of identity and community.

What would you like to accomplish in the ERF in 2025?

As a recently appointed Council Member, I am looking forward to getting involved in some of the exciting projects which the ERF is focused on. In particular, I aim to contribute to the ideas and initiatives of the Next Gen Law working group. I would also like to grow closer ties with representatives from across the region as the ERF brings together members with a wealth of experience and knowledge, as well as an openness and enthusiasm to build connections.

Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies?

In my free time I enjoy learning new skills at Crossfit. These currently include handstands and skipping, which are much harder than I remember them being as a child!
