Current Chairman Stefan Wallin continues until August 1, when Nylander takes over.– Mikaela Nylander has a solid experience in this area, after 16 years in the Riksdag and her membership of the Culture Committee throughout that time. Nylander is also well acquainted with the Finnish field, a combination that makes her a natural choice, says The Chairman of the Swedish People's Party, Minister for Justice Anna-Maja Henriksson.According to Nylander, the Swedish Culture Fund has an important role to play in strengthening the education and culture fields in Swedish in Finland.– Rarely does a mission feel as much as "mine", regarding the substance, like this. My time in the Committee on Culture gave me a constant contact area to cultural and educational actors. I am very much looking forward to resigning those cases," nylander says.In addition to Stefan Wallin, delegation chairman Ann-Luise Bertell is also in line with resigning. Bertell's replacement will be elected later this spring. The Swedish Cultural Fund was founded by the Swedish People's Party in 1908.
