LuzernPlus President Michèle Graber resigns
Michèle Graber is stepping down as President of LuzernPlus on December 31, 2020. In future she will concentrate more on her professional activities. Board member André Bachmann takes over the duties of President on an interim basis. The search for a successor is ongoing.
Michèle Graber, who has chaired LuzernPlus since January 1, 2020, has decided to resign. Your resignation as of December 31, 2020 is due to time constraints. Her main job is to lead the inter-company courses for dental assistants in Central Switzerland. She has also been a member of the Lucerne Cantonal Council since 2011. The effort that the Presidium entails, the work as a cantonal councilor and, in particular, the additional workload as a result of Corona were not compatible with each other in the long term.
«I was very happy to support the LuzernPlus community association. The time resources that I can make available to the association under the given conditions, however, cannot be reconciled with my high demands on the quality of my work. That's why I decided to focus on fewer tasks, ”says Michèle Graber. “I got to know a very dynamic association whose goals I was very happy to support. Regional cooperation is one of the strengths of our region and it should definitely be expanded. "
André Bachmann, board member of LuzernPlus, regrets the resignation. «We would like to thank Michèle Graber for her careful work. With her friendly manner she gave the association a face ». Bachmann continues: “In particular, the connection with the Cantonal Council was very important for our association. We appreciate that Michèle Graber will remain connected to our association. We wish Michèle Graber all the best for her professional and private future. "

"We will carefully set up the process for succession planning and inform our delegates about the planned steps by the end of 2020." Bachmann continues: "The replacement election is expected to take place at the delegates' meeting in April 2021."
