Landtag Presidium
The Presidium of the State Parliament is composed of the President of the State Parliament and her two Vice-Presidents. The task of the Presidium is to lead the sessions of the state parliament and to represent the Vorarlberg state parliament externally.
In the 29th legislative period of the Vorarlberg Landtag, Bernadette Mennel (ÖVP) was the first woman to be elected President of the Vorarlberg Landtag. Gabriele Nussbaumer (ÖVP) and Ernst Hagen (FPÖ) were appointed as vice-presidents. During the legislative period there was a change in the composition of the Landtag Presidium after Mennel moved to the Vorarlberg provincial government on November 14, 2012 as State Councilor. Gabriele Nussbaumer became the new President of the State Parliament, Heinz Peter Ritter (ÖVP) her successor as Vice President.
The group chairmen of the four state parliament clubs also belong to the enlarged presidium. Together they form an advisory body that assists the President of the State Parliament in drawing up the agendas and determining the times of the meetings.
