At the officers of GGN international, Connexx members held their 2nd General Assembly. The General Assembly was attended by representatives from 11 different Countries from around Europe. The meeting was chaired by the Chief Executive Officer of GGN, and also attended by the President of the Union International Hussiers de Justice (UIHJ) Mr Leo Netten.
During this meeting, which was only the second of its kind, discussions ensued as to the vision of Connexx, what were the synergies between the different countries involved? How much of a client demand was there for such a network? Did we require Articles of Association? What about a Website? Could we bring together a cohesive Network that could develop a single set of standards? What were the procedures in each Country?
There were a lot of unanswered questions at this stage, however, with a focused perspective and an iron will to succeed, particularly from its inaugural members, and indeed a collective vision, we were able to overcome a number of uncertainties. Representatives from France with the headphones attached, were enjoying instant translation from English to French. The meeting concluded at around 4pm to which the members were treated to a tour of GGN offices. The evening was an occasion were members were able to enjoy some hospitality provided by GGN and really get to know each other, with an eye on building and developing long term business relationships and friendships.
