CIGRE General Assemblies 2020

In accordance with the French Legislation on French Associations, every year in the first semester, CIGRE must hold an annual Ordinary General Assembly to approve the accounts of the previous year.

The Article 7 of the CIGRE Statutes also states that the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Assemblies may take place by correspondence, and may be undertaken electronically, or by other conventional or modern means.

The Secretary General of CIGRE, on behalf of the Administrative Council invited the members of the Association to take part in an electronic vote for the Ordinary and Extraordinary General Assemblies organized by the CIGRE Association in June 2020.
