BoD 2


This BoD meeting is part of the General Assembly week. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the General Assembly itself and the continental meetings will still have to be held by video teleconferencing.
In the afternoon of June 27, the first session of the BoD took place with BoD members present in Lanzarote and BoD members via video teleconferencing.

 

During this session, the CISM President and CISM Secretary General Colonel Dorah Mamby Koita presented their report of the last period, and the Vice-Presidents gave their continental reports with a peek into the future, followed by the presentations of the CISM commissions with a special report from the Sports Commission. The President of the CISM Sports Commission, Lieutenant-Colonel Walter Borghino, will leave the BoD after 12 years of membership. He looked back at his almost 20 years commitment to CISM. Fortunately, we will not lose the broad experience of Lieutenant-Colonel Borghino, since he will stay as President of the CISM Sports Commission until his retirement in February 2023.
