On Friday 31 March, we held our annual meeting, which was attended by around thirty delegates, elected representatives and, new for this year, office staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katarina \u00d6nell<\/a> from Sifo-Kantar wielded the chairman's gavel with aplomb and after the usual annual meeting items were completed, the meeting moved on to the election of a new board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petra Karmteg<\/a>, DNB Sweden was elected Chairman. It is a two-year appointment and has most recently been held by Gabriella Wiiala<\/a>, who, after five years as President, has decided not to stand for re-election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following were elected as new members of the Board Caroline Liw\u00e5ng<\/a>, Handelsbanken, Stefan Kulhanek<\/a>, Axians and Tomas Oxendorff<\/a>, Nordea. Their assignments are also for two years, and to create the conditions for continuity in the work of the Board, half of them are re-elected every other year. However, Tomas Oxendorff was elected for one year, as it was a replacement election. In addition, the following were elected Frida Marty Wallgren<\/a>Vattenfall as a member for two years, having previously been an alternate member of the Board. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nazanin Nematshah<\/a>i, Microsoft, Mats Wernheim<\/a>, the Jobs Festival, Ulrika Wikberg<\/a> from Beijer Byggmaterial were elected as alternates. Alternates are re-elected every year. Being an alternate is a good way to learn more about what it is like to be part of the board of Diversity Charter Sweden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you guess who is a master of Christmas rhymes, who is a trained chef with 10 years' experience in the catering industry? There is also a member of the Board who danced both ballet and Latin as a youngster, and another who is an expert at reversing a trailer. Without revealing too much, you will find here who it is and the others in the board (under \"read more\").  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Decision to change the association's statutes postponed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diversity Charters Sweden's statutes can be described as our internal laws. It is these that in many cases determine how and in what way we should conduct our activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The statutes that the association has today are from 2016 and proposals to revise them have been discussed. Among other things, there have been requests that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
