Join us, HMA Mr Paul Fox and our board noimnees on the 25th of May for our AGM either online or in person!<\/strong><\/h1>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Date:<\/strong>\u00a0Tuesday, 25 May\u00a02021, 16:00-18:00
Venue:<\/strong>\u00a0Marriott Budapest or online via MS Teams
The event is free of charge for BCCH Members and we request all members have a representative either online or in person<\/strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can either join us virtually via MS Teams, however due to the improving\u00a0circumstances, we are also planning to hold this as a hybrid event. If you wish to join us and the Board live at the Marriott, please email your request to us as soon as possible. With restrictions still in place and taking the required precautions, we can only offer a very limited number of live spots due to the on-going government regulations limiting the maximum number of attendees to 10 participants!<\/span><\/p>\n

Our decision to change the date to the 25th<\/span>\u00a0of May is to accommodate members who may wish to join us live for the AGM with refreshments being served at the Marriott Hotel. We do hope it will not prove to be an inconvenience to any potential attendee planning to attend either virtually or in person.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Please note that given the special situation, we need all our member companies to attend via\u00a0a delegate<\/strong><\/u> to make sure we meet the quorum for a valid AGM.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u200bIn line with the BCCH Charter, we will elect a new Council and a Chairperson<\/u><\/strong> for the\u00a0Chamber who will serve on the Board for 2 years.<\/p>\n
