HANSA Guild
The HANSA Guild advises and supports the Union of Cities THE HANSA in its activities and projects, and also initiates its own projects. In general, members of the HANSA Guild are people who have shown particular commitment to THE HANSA in the course of their previous professional or honorary activities, and who continue to contribute their experience to the work of the city group as members of the Guild.
The HANSA Guild was set up by a resolution of the Assembly in 2004, and since then it has been a permanent part of THE HANSA.
