Minalogic annual general meeting: Antoine Perrin appointed president to pursue the cluster’s missions
Minalogic held its annual general meeting on May 26, 2020. The meeting took place online due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions. A number of resolutions were voted, including the division of the Business College into two separate Colleges (one for SMEs and one for large companies) and the appointment of the cluster’s directors. The new board of directors appointed Antoine Perrin (representing Schneider Electric) president of Minalogic..
An online annual general meeting
This was a special annual general meeting in that it was held online. The Covid-19 related restrictions the French government implemented in March were still in force. So, a decision was made to hold the meeting online in two phases. The “e-meeting” provided a maximum number of members with an opportunity to vote via a 100% digital voting system befitting of a digital technology cluster like Minalogic.
Members were able to access all of the AGM content and vote on a secure platform in the two weeks before the AGM.
On the day of the AGM, May 26, 60% of members were online for the webinar. Any members who had not yet voted at that time were given an additional 24 hours to do so.
Votes that will shape the future of Minalogic
Some lively discussions took place at the webinar and several resolutions were voted: A new College was created, directors were elected for two-year terms, and the bylaws were updated.
New College for businesses
The Business College was divided into one College for SMEs and another for large companies and corporations. The number of directors representing companies increased by two to reflect this change.
