During the Annual General Assembly of the members of the Bulgarian UN Global Compact Network, regular elections were held for chairperson, members of the National and Monitoring Council.
The companies praised Ognian Trajanov for his four-year term of office and after unanimous voting reelected him as chairman of the Association.
“The first major goal we have set - to have interesting, inspiring, motivating projects, we have achieved. They are the meaning of our existence and are recognized at national and international level.
It has been shown that these foundations that we built upon our organization, namely collective projects, as a way of structuring NGOs, a way of strategic planning and management, have been recognized as a good practice. There is overlap and recognition from New York on the standard of our quality of work that is required and recommended to other local networks.
This means we have done our job well, and the last two awards we have been given distinguish us as one of the working organizations that not only follows the New York guidelines but creatively adapts, extends and adds to the problems of our society”, said Ognian Trajanov during the meeting.
