The third BICG Annual General Meeting and Conference, held at Swedbank in Vilnius on March 14th, was attended by almost 100 BICG members and guests.
The morning session was dedicated for the Annual General Meeting, where the new Board and Council of the BICG were elected. The BICG members also elected the BICG Nomination Committee and approved the activity report as well as the audited financial statement of 2012.
The afternoon session was opened by a keynote speech by the President of Latvia H.E. Andris Bērziņš, who stated in his speech via video: “Now more than ever, we shall concentrate on much deeper integration of markets of the Baltic states, thus going beyond what has already been achieved by EU‘s common market. I see the Baltic Institute of Corporate Governance as an exemplary platform for such reasonable goal”.
Other speakers at the conference were:
- Mr. Mads Qwist, 2010 Speaker of the Year in Denmark and owner of Styrkefokus
- Mr. Harri Kerminen, Deputy Chair of Finnair
- Ms. Marianne Philip, Deputy Chair of the Danish Corporate Governance Committe

The Conference finished with awarding honorary membership to Carl Berneheim, co-founder of the BICG.
At the Annual General Meeting BICG President Kristian Kaas Mortensen touched on BICG plans for 2013: “We will have two board member education programs in 2013, we will be one of the partners of the 13th EUROPEAN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CONFERENCE and we will as well publish a study on executive management changes from 1992 to 2012 in State Owned Enterprises.”.
