At the Annual General Meeting of the IENE which was held online on Thursday, June 26 the current Chairman, Costis Stambolis, was unanimously re-elected for another two year term and a new Executive Committee emerged with slight changes to the existing one, following a decision by Christos Dimas to step down as Deputy Chairman in order to enable the renewal of its membership.
Before that the General Assembly had unanimously approved the Annual Report for 2024, which was presented by the Chairman. The General Assembly also approved the annual accounts of the Institute and the financial statement which are included in the Annual Report. The Annual Report will shortly become accessible to all members of the IENE as it will be posted on the Institute’s web site. A separate announcement to that effect will be made.
Following a proposal by the Chairman, which was unanimously approved by the 30 partners who attended the AGM, the Institute’s new Executive Committee is as follows: Mr. Costas Theofylactos, Deputy Chairman, Mr. Nicholas Sofianos, Secretary General and members: Mr. Anastassios Tosios, Mrs. Sofia Politopoulou, Mr. Christos Dimas and Mr. Theodore Terzopoulos.
A unanimous decision was also taken by the Assembly to change the Articles of Association of the Institute in order to allow the appointment of 4 alternate members in the Executive Committee. In the view of the Committee this was necessary so as to allow a number of partners to get more involved with the affairs of the Institute and also gain some experience with its management. Consequently, it was unanimously agreed that the following four partners be appointed as alternate members of the Executive Committee:
Mr. Yiannis Grigoriou, Mrs. Evgenia Giannini, Mr. Mihailo Mihailovic, Dr. Halil Yurdakul Yigitguden.
Finally, and upon the recommendation of the Executive Committee, and in line with the Institute’s regional outreach, it was unanimously decided to admit four long standing friends and associates of the Institute to join it as full partners. They are the following: Mr. Shkelqim Bozgo, from Albania, Mr. Kaloyan Staykov, from Bulgaria, Dr. Mustafa Tiris, from Turkiye, and Dr. Nikolaos Liapis, from Greece.
Concluding the proceedings of the AGM the Chairman thanked all participating partners for their strong interest and unwavering support to the Institute.
