Swiss Marketing has set up a search committee to evaluate suitable candidates for the succession. It is chaired by Andreas Balazs, who was appointed Vice President and Head of Education by the Board of Directors on October 1, 2017. He replaces Peter Petrin, Rector of the HWZ since January 2017, in these roles. As a full member of the Board of Directors, Peter Petrin will continue to work for the association until the 2018 Delegates' Assembly. Andreas Balazs has been a member of the Examination Board for Marketing Specialists since 2003 and its Chairman since 2008.
With the upcoming changes to the Board of Directors, Uwe Tännler's chairmanship will come to an end after twelve years. The other departing members will also be able to look back on many years of commitment to Swiss Marketing at the 2018 Delegates' Meeting. Their services to the further development of Swiss Marketing and the promotion of the marketing and sales professions will be recognized in detail at a later date, according to a press release.
