Change in the SMPV Board of Directors
The Assembly of Delegates elected two new members to the Board of Directors:
Ines Hübner comes from Berlin, where she also studied. She has been a full-time violinist at the Musikkollegium Winterthur for over 25 years and regularly substitutes at the Winterthur Conservatory.
Ines is a member of the board of the SMPV Winterthur/Zürcher Oberland. She has already attracted attention in the "Communication and Structures" working group with her many critical questions and constructive suggestions. Now she wants to become more involved in the SMPV's strategic work. The Central Board will be able to benefit from her experience from her work in the SMV, from the CLA negotiations for the Winterthur Musikkollegium and from her work as an employee representative for many years.
Christine Thöni grew up in Interlaken. She works mainly as a piano teacher at the Oberland Ost music school and teaches the optional subject of recorder at elementary school. She leads a baroque ensemble and is assistant choir director in two choirs. As President of the Teachers' Convention at the MSO, she is committed to the concerns of the teaching staff within the music school, and she brings experience from her many years as a delegate at the DV of the VLBM and the VBMS. She feels that the strong fragmentation of musicians is a major problem and would therefore like to get involved in a large association such as the SMPV, which is well networked throughout Switzerland.
We are looking forward to working in the new team!
We will miss the two members of the Board of Directors who have stepped down: we would like to thank Beatrice Villiger for her clear, constructive votes at meetings and for organizing many training courses. And we can't really imagine a ZV without Lucas Bennett. We will miss his calm, considered manner, his clever, pointed comments even in heated discussions and his sense of humor!
