Nik Eugster is the new president of the BPRG
At the online general meeting of the Bern Public Relations Association (BPRG), Nik Eugster was elected as the new president. He succeeds Cla Martin Caflisch, who is stepping down after ten years on the board and seven years as president. Philippe von Bergen and Mike Petermann were newly elected to the board.
In view of the special circumstances and the measures adopted by the Federal Council to restrict the coronavirus, the BPRG held this year's general meeting by video conference (Werbewoche.ch reported). The online general meeting was limited to dealing with the formal agenda items. In his brief review of the year, outgoing President Cla Martin Caflisch talked about the past anniversary year. "With twelve events and a total of over 1,000 participants, we celebrated 60 years of the BPRG," said Caflisch.
