29th Annual General Meeting of the Swiss Copywriters' Association Script

The first three traditional agenda items after the welcome address - approval of the minutes of the 28th Annual General Meeting, the President's annual report and the annual financial statements including the audit report - were quickly ticked off, according to the announcement, with the members voting in favor without dissenting votes. Agenda item 5, the elections, was also a mere formality: the members confirmed the Board members Roger Hausmann, Stephanie Hugentobler, Paul Girard and Barbara Sollberger as well as President Roger Hausmann
unanimously for a further two years in office.

The auditors Anton Neuenschwander and Claudia Scherrer also stood for re-election and were confirmed for a further year. Hélène Apel, who had been particularly committed to the concerns of French-speaking Switzerland on the Board for many years, stepped down from her position at this General Meeting. Her position was not filled.

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 2010.

According to the press release from "Federal certificate for copywriters". Script worked with Schweizer Werbung SW, EB Zürich and Publicité Romande for three years on the examination regulations and the guidelines for the examination regulations, which the Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology OPET definitively approved a few weeks ago. This means that nothing stands in the way of the first examinations in late fall of this year. At the moment, two schools are preparing candidates for the exams, next year there will be at least four schools. script supports members who are preparing for the exams at one of these schools financially and has set up a training fund for this purpose.
