The Mayor of Frauenfeld, Anders Stokholm, is the new President of the Swiss Charitable Society SGG. Stokholm was elected as Nicola Forster's successor at an SGG meeting in Basel on Friday.
FDP member Stokholm is also president of the Swiss Association of Towns and Cities and sits on the Grand Council of the Canton of Thurgau. The SGG Board nominated him for election in May. This was based on the argument that Stokholm has a profound understanding of the role of organizations such as the SGG.
As the SGG also announced, the association has also approved a revision of its articles of association: In future, the approval of collective members - non-profit societies and other legal entities - as well as individual members will be required to accept a transaction.
With this "double majority", the necessary foundations have been laid so that the SGG Board can soon decide on the pending membership applications.
Manager of the Rütli meadow
The SGG is an institution that promotes an active civil society, social cohesion and democracy in Switzerland. It also manages the Rütli meadow.
SGG has recently experienced turbulent times. In June 2023, the association reshuffled its board. Jürg Kallay, who was responsible for finances, had to leave the board. Kallay had been accused of trying to pull the Board to the right politically with his own candidates. At the end of August 2023, Managing Director Peter Haerle also announced his resignation at the beginning of January.
