Script: Board members confirmed

The first three traditional agenda items after the welcome address - approval of the minutes of the 29th Annual General Meeting, the President's annual report and the annual financial statements including the auditors' report - were quickly ticked off, according to the announcement, with the members voting in favor without dissent. The elections were also a formality: the members unanimously confirmed the Board members Rinaldo Dieziger, Christoph Fuchs and Robert Sulser in office for a further two years. The Script Board will therefore continue to be composed as follows:

- Roger Hausmann, Chairman, elected until 2013
- Christoph Fuchs, Managing Director, elected until 2014
- Rinaldo Dieziger, elected until 2014
- Paul Girard, elected until 2013
- Barbara Sollberger, elected until 2013
- Robert Sulser, elected until 2014

Auditors Anton Neuenschwander and Claudia Scherrer also stood for re-election and were confirmed for a further year, as the press release explains. Stephanie Hugentobler, who had been a member of the Board of Directors for many years, including as President from 2003 to 2007, stepped down at this AGM. Roger Hausmann, who succeeded her as President in 2007, paid tribute to her great services to all copywriters in general and script in particular. The members thanked Stephanie Hugentobler, who now lives and writes texts in Djerba, with thunderous applause.

After the elections, the members set the 2012 annual fee unchanged at CHF 520. As no motions had been received prior to the Annual General Meeting, Christoph Fuchs and Roger Hausmann had plenty of time to inform the members about some important developments in 2011. Among other things, they spoke about their impressions of the first examinations for the new federal certificate for copywriters and their disappointment at the low number of participants. "The results disappointed me. I think the candidates were poorly prepared or took the exam lightly."
