After many years of dedicated efforts and care, Neil Anderson (HSS) passed on the EHP chair-torch to Tale Pleym of HEF. Tale has worked with humanist ceremonies for the last 14 years, mainly wedding and funerals, but also naming ceremonies and confirmation – both courses and ceremonies.

Employed in the Norwegian Humanist Association since 2010, Tale is now a senior ceremonial advisor. She has been board member of EHP since 2020 and since the beginning of the year, she is taking over as chair of EHP.

Tale lives in Oslo with her Welsh husband and two sons. She loves living in a city with a thriving culture- and art scene, surrounded by forest and water. ‘I’m very happy that I had the opportunity to become chair after Neil for this active board. It is important that we make it possible for humanists to collaborate and learn from each other, through activities and shared practice. I’m proud to be part of this work!’
