As we close a significant chapter at CIGRE, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible leadership and dedication of Michel Augonnet, who has just concluded his presidency, and Marcio Szechtman, who has completed his tenure as the Technical Council Chair.
Michel’s visionary guidance has been instrumental in navigating CIGRE through dynamic times, fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth. His commitment to our mission has left a lasting impact on the global power systems community.
Marcio's tenure as Technical Council Chair has been equally remarkable. His expertise and passion for advancing technical excellence have propelled our initiatives forward, ensuring that CIGRE continues to be at the forefront of industry developments.
We are immensely grateful for their service and are confident that their legacies will inspire the next generation of leaders within our organization. As we look ahead to the future, we remain committed to building on the strong foundation they've established.
Congratulations to our New Leaders!
