The EHHF administrative secretary acts as the single point of contact between the Heads, assisting the host countries and the Troika with the organisation of the annual meetings, following up statements of EHHF meetings and representing the Forum. The Secretariat also provides assistance when needed to the two EHHF standing committees: the European Heritage Legal Forum (EHLF) and the Task Force on Economy and Statistics (TFES). The Secretariat exchanges on a regular basis with each member institutions and maintains effective communication throughout the year. As such, the heads of public heritage authorities throughout Europe can benefit from a central and single point of contact, which greatly facilitates the coordination of activities and the circulation of information.
