New board elected, honorary member appointed and the statutes and membership fee adjusted!

On Thursday 22 March, we held our annual meeting, which was attended by around 20 delegates, elected representatives, office staff and members of the public.

Kicki Lilliedrake from Fastigo wielded the gavel with aplomb and after the usual annual meeting items were completed, the meeting moved on to the election of a new board.

The following were elected as new members of the Board for two years David Pamjö, Cancer Foundation, Cathrine Lindvall McKnight, Mycronic and also selected Henry Abraham, Mestergruppen for one year. Nazanin Nematshahi, Microsoft, Mats Wernheim, Jobbfestivalen, who were previously deputies on the board, were elected as members for two years. Kicki Lilliedrake, Fastigo and Paolo Pelacchi, ISS Facility Services Sweden re-elected for two years

The following were elected as one-year alternates Liselott Vahermägi, LEDA20, Shamsher Khan, Stockholm Exergi and Ulrika Wikberg, Beijer Byggmaterial.

The AGM also decided to adjust the statutes and membership fees. Both of these decisions will take effect in 2025.

Can you guess who is good at diving into the sea from a boat or who has built their own wood-fired pizza oven? The Board also includes a person who is good at memorising song lyrics and one who is fluent in five languages. Without revealing too much, you can find out who they are and the rest of the board here (under 'read more').

The meeting concluded with the appointment of Åsa Nilsson Billme as an honorary member for her crucial role in ensuring that Sweden had a national Diversity Charter.

We take this opportunity to extend a warm welcome to the new board members and thank the outgoing chair, members and alternates for their fantastic work on the board.
