The Swedish Chamber invites you to the 64th Annual General Meeting on June 4, 2024

On June 4, 2024, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce will convene its 64th Annual General Meeting.

They are proposed to succeed Bernie van Leeuwen and Everth Flores, who stepped down from the Board over the past year due to new assignments outside the Swedish Chamber of Commerce community. During this Annual General Meeting, members will also be asked to approve the New Articles of Association.
