Marilin Mihkelson joined the National Heritage Board of Estonia as the director general in March 2023.

Before joining the cultural heritage team in the beginning of 2023, Marilin first worked for almost 10 years as the head of the Legal Department at the Estonian Tax and Customs Board. Before that, she also worked as a legal counsellor in the Public Procurement and State Aid Department at the Ministry of Finance.

A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY
The first European Heritage Summit was organised in London from April 26 to 28, 2006 by Dr Simon Thurley, former Chief Executive of English Heritage. The mission of the summit was to bring together for the first time those responsible for Europe's cultural heritage, to create an opportunity to exchange experiences in heritage management and to initiate joint action. The first summit brought together 23 European countries, who agreed in the summit's final declaration to continue to meet annually in the form of a European Heritage Heads Forum. Each year, future host countries are chosen by mutual agreement at the annual meeting, so that the tradition can continue.
