The Team

Hjerterum Association is led by a team of dedicated driving forces who also make up the board.

About the Board, Staff, and Leadership Style
We have intentionally chosen a flat organizational structure at Hjerterum. This means that we all—both employees and volunteers—share responsibility for making things work. There is no traditional “boss.” Instead, we tackle tasks together, each with different roles and responsibilities. This structure aligns with Hjerterum’s spirit and values, and it’s what the board believes in.

Here are the people who keep things running and make up the board:

• Jacob – Founder, chair and team leader (volunteer)
• Lisbeth – Vice-chair (employed 8 hours per week) Primary responsibilities: Booking new instructors, handling general inquiries, and managing membership sign-ups and cancellations.
• Frederik – Treasurer (employed 5 hours per week) Responsibilities: Finance, invoicing, etc.
• Gitta – (employed 5 hours per week) Responsibilities: Social media/PR and bookings with regular instructors.
• Douglas – Board member (volunteer)

Our employees rarely limit their involvement to their scheduled hours. They often contribute extra volunteer time because they are passionate about Hjerterum and the community.

Important to Know – How We Work Today
Hjerterum currently operates with fewer working hours than before. This means we’ve adjusted our workflows so that instructors and event organizers take on more of the preparation themselves.

If you write to us, you can expect a response within 3–5 business days.

When booking an event, it’s important that you:

• Have concrete suggestions for dates and times.
• Have your event text and cover image (or a good photo, preferably not AI-generated) ready.
• Follow the guides we send you.
• Check our website, where many answers can already be found.

The better prepared your materials are, the easier it is for us to find available slots and set up events—and the more bookings we can handle.

Our Shared Goal
To ensure that Hjerterum is led professionally and with heart—so that Hjerterum can thrive as much as possible ♥️
