The Victoria Innovation, Advanced Technology and Entrepreneurship Council (VIATEC) held their Annual General Meeting (AGM) yesterday evening at Fort Tectoria with 51 in attendance. There were 13 candidates for the 7 seats available on the board.
“VIATEC has long enjoyed significant interest in our annual board elections and this year not only carried on that tradition, but I think it was even more impressive due to the diversity and quality of the candidates,” said Dan Gunn, CEO of VIATEC.
“It must have been very tough for each of our voting members to select just seven candidates. We hope the candidates not elected this year will continue to participate in our tech community and put their names forward again soon.”
VIATEC thanks everyone who ran and congratulates those who were newly elected and re-elected.
