Anders Wilander himself played for both HV71 and Tranås AIF in the 70s.

He resigned as chairman of the municipal board in Tranås after 14 years, as late as last autumn.

- HV71 is a brand that belongs to the county's strongest, all categories.

Something I have noticed both in my professional life as a politician and as an association person, says Anders Wilander.

The current chairman, Sten-Åke Karlsson, has announced that he is declining re-election.

Wilander, who has extensive experience in associations, hopes for more investments in youth activities:

- To bring more boys and girls from the area who can play in the national team. But also the challenge with the sporting part on the men's side. Nobody is happy with the situation, but I'm convinced they'll sort it out.
