In view of the unprecedented situation, the holding of these two events was innovative. Indeed, to adapt to health regulations, they were held via Webinar.
The Board took place in the morning, at 10:00 a.m.
The GA was opened at 3pm and had 50 member participants present and represented, validating the quorum.
The agenda included the following topics:
Olman SERRANO, President of ATIBT, recalled the fundamentals of the Association, its mission, its challenges and how the association tends to respond to them. With Benoit JOBBE-DUVAL, director of ATIBT, they both highlighted the key events of 2019. The Shanghai forum was the flagship event of 2019 co-organized with CTWPDA and GGSC and allowed, among other things, the signing of a collaborative partnership between ATIBT and CTWPDA and an inter-union agreement between UFIGA and UFIAG.
M ROUGERON, treasurer of the association, presented the main characteristics of the functioning of the entities of the association, and the financial aspects.
The floor was given to the new members so that they could introduce themselves and express themselves.
In the last part, the ATIBT team was able to report on the progress of activities:
