EBO WWN elects Minna Saneri as Chairperson

On June 17th the members of the European Business Organisation Worldwide Network (EBOWWN) elected Minna Saneri as Chairperson at their Annual General Meeting. Ms. Saneri succeeds Jason Collins who served as the Chairman from 2011-2014. Ms. Saneri, who previously served as Vice Chairperson stated, "I am very honoured to take on this position and I see a lot of potential in further developing the network. In particular, I am extremely pleased with the growth of our organisation. This year's AGM had the largest participation ever with over 24 individual European business organisations joining, including Trinidad and Tobago as well as Ghana. Network expansion remains one of the main aims of EBOWWN together with strengthening of stakeholder relations both with European Institutions as well as host country and regional bodies."

Minna will lead a board of five people that together represent 24 European Business organisations that are located across the world and outside of European Union. Minna is a Finnish national, based in Kuala Lumpur, and is the General Manager of the European Chamber in Malaysia.  Also re-joining the board are Freddie Hoeglund (Taiwan); and Renato Pacheco (Brazil) who will continue to serve as Vice-Chairman and Treasurer. Adam Dunnett (China) and Christoph Heider (South Korea) were newly elected as Vice Chairman and Secretary respectively and join the board for the first time. As their first action for 2014, the board also co-opted Jason Collins (Australia), its former Chairman, to be an Honorary Advisor to EBOWWN. "Jason's knowledge and experience are invaluable, and I am pleased that he will continue to support us" said Ms. Saneri.
