MGI Worldwide is excited to announce the new European Board, unveiled at our recent MGI European meeting in the vibrant city of Warsaw, Poland.

MGI Worldwide Chairman and International Committee Member representing Europe, László Killik, and European Director Zoltán Paksy welcomed the new board members with enthusiasm.

Regional Organisation

In Europe, our organisation is structured into four Circles representing key commercial and economic regions: Central EuropeEastern Europethe Mediterranean, and the Nordic Region. The management of MGI Europe is supervised by a Coordinating Committee comprising two members from each Circle, a treasurer, and Chairman.

Time for a Change

Over the past few years, only the Central Circle remained active, resulting in no rotation of board members from the other circles. Additionally, the MGI-CPAAI merger expanded the European Coordinating Committee by including four members representing European CPAAI firms. Recognising the need for change, the board invited four former European Board members to form a European Election Committee.
