Throwback - FNZCCI Annual General Meeting 2025
The FNZCCI AGM celebrated achievements, welcomed new board members, heard from H.E. Laurence Beau & shared exciting plans for 2025-26.
The FNZCCI community came together on Friday, 30 May at BizDojo Ponsonby for our Annual General Meeting - a morning of reflection, inspiration, and exciting announcements about the year ahead.
We were honoured to welcome Her Excellency Laurence Beau, French Ambassador to New Zealand, who opened the meeting with a warm and engaging address, underlining the strength of the French-Kiwi relationship and the importance of continued collaboration between our business communities.
Our Co-Presidents Agnès Baekelandt and Madeleine Colombie, together with the FNZCCI Core Team, presented the Annual Report, highlighting key achievements from the past year, from high-profile events to member growth and strengthened partnerships. Attendees also got a glimpse into some exciting developments and opportunities on the horizon.
The morning also included a special moment to farewell Board Member Hélène Toury, who stepped down after an incredible seven years of dedicated service to the Chamber. Hélène’s energy, expertise, and commitment have left a lasting mark, and she departs with our deepest thanks and warmest wishes.
The meeting concluded with the election of our new Board, bringing together a diverse and experienced group of business leaders to help guide FNZCCI into its next chapter:
Co-Presidents: Agnès Baekelandt & Madeleine Colombie
Co-Vice Presidents: Frederik Cornu & David Maucor
Treasurer: Morven Booth
Board Members: Thibault Beaujot, Fatima Daoudi, Guillaume Grassin, Paul-Emmanuel Gros, Philippe Lemonnier, Jeremy Martin, Elizabeth Rabier, Tania Te Whenua
Following the formalities, members enjoyed coffee and delicious French pâtisseries from Copain, with plenty of networking and conversation to round off the morning.
A big thank you to everyone who attended - in person and online - and to our new Board for stepping up to lead FNZCCI in the year ahead. We look forward to building on our successes together!
