For the first time ever, SCCE’s General Assembly was conducted via e-mail this year. The electronic proceedings were conducted on 17 March and all our members who had registered for voting got the necessary reports and proposals to be decided upon via e-mail.
SCCE could look back at a very active and intense past year with a wide range of business seminars and social events being arranged. Before the coronavirus reached its current pandemic magnitude, 2020 has begun in an equally active way.
The reports on SCCE’s activities, finances and audit for 2019, as well as the budget proposal for 2020 were all approved via the General Assembly’s e-mail voting procedure.
Furthermore, the General Assembly elected SCCE’s Council for 2020 to include Ainar Ahusalu - Business Sweden, Evelin Allas – SEB, Kadri Land – Tallink, Per Lindberg – Stoneridge Electronics, Tendo Lindvest - Hilton Tallinn Park Hotel, Linda Nilsson - Embassy of Sweden, Mart Nõmper - Grant Thornton Baltic, Lars Ottoson – Ericsson, Janar Sutt – BRIOX, and Karolina Ullman - NJORD Law Firm.
Following the proceedings, Ivar Miller - Auxner was elected as SCCE’s Auditor.
I would like to thank all of our members who participated in this year’s electronic General Assembly despite the current challenging times. My thanks also go to Karolina Ullman who took the initiative to the set up and prepared the documents for our General Assembly, and to Ainar Ahusalu who shared his experiences from the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Lithuania, who held their annual proceedings in a similar way. Last but not least, I would also like to thank Jan Nurminen for his contributions to SCCE’s Council during 2019, and Liili Rätsep for her work as SCCE’s Auditor last year.
Sincerely,
Kristiina Brodén - SCCE Ombudsman
