On May 3rd, the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce – Annual General Meeting was held at Borden Ladner Gervais in downtown Vancouver, BC. The board of directors and several members were meeting to finalize the fiscal year 2022.
AGMs are always a great opportunity to talk about the organization, share exciting ideas, new improvements, potential challenges, finances and welcome new and existing members.
This year’s meeting took place in one of the beautiful board rooms at BLG by Coal Harbour. We were able to welcome a good crowed in-person, as well as some more attendance online. It was a smooth hour, sharing words about past and future events, finance insides and the approval of our new board of directors.
Welcome our new directors
With great pleasure we are able to announce Nina Bader and Georg Josi as our newest Directors. Nina and Georg both bring a full backpack of experience, knowledge and ideas.
