On 15 June, the representatives of GUTMA’s Members gathered online for the 2022 General Assembly (GA).
Every year, the GA represents one of the key events for the future of our Association, with a programme covering all the main strategic aspects of GUTMA’s activities moving forward.
This year, the Assembly discussed the Association’s achievements and forthcoming strategy with the Secretary-General and the Co-Presidents and approved GUTMA’s Annual Report 2021-2022, which is now available for download on our website.
Furthermore, the GA also saw the renewal of the Association’s Board of Directors, whose new and re-elected members we are pleased to officially announce.
