Congratulations to all!
The June 2018 election brought five representatives of digital services companies and five representatives of software publishers onto the organisation’s board. The announcement named Jonathan Amar, Benoît Darde, Marc Palazon, Jérôme Siméon and Isabelle Zablit-Schmitz for the services college.
The software-publisher college included Laurent Dechaux, Eric Haddad, Katya Lainé, Bernard Ourghanlian and Chantal Penelon. This historical record illustrates the importance of representing different business models in a professional federation; it is not a list of current office-holders.
Professional representation works best when elected members can connect broad economic debates with practical needs encountered by companies. Governance should give different communities a fair opportunity to contribute, including software publishers, digital service companies and technology consultants. Clear mandates, transparent decision processes and regular dialogue with members support credibility. When reading an older election result or appointment, it is useful to distinguish the person selected, the position they were selected for and the particular term of office concerned.
