Södra will elect a new Chair at the association’s Annual General Meeting on 24 May. Södra’s Nomination Committee has now presented its election proposal. Magnus Hall is proposed as the Chair of Södra’s Board for the upcoming period (2022–2023).
In addition, Hannele Arvonen, Carina Olson and Mikaela Johnsson are proposed as new Board members. The Committee also proposes that Kristina Alsér, Hans Berggren, Pål Börjesson, Paul Christensson, Ulf Johansson and Mats Sandgren be re-elected.
The Nomination Committee’s proposal brings the number of elected Board members to ten.
Magnus Hall has been a member of Södra’s Board since 2020 and has extensive experience in the Swedish business sector. He was CEO of Vattenfall for almost six years before stepping down in 2020. Prior to that he was CEO of the Holmen Group for ten years, where he was also responsible for the specialty papers area in publishing paper and Business Area President. While employed at Holmen, he also served as Chair of the Swedish Forest Industries Federation, and later chaired the Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI). Magnus therefore has extensive experience of issues related to forestry, the forest industry and forest policy at both national and international levels.
Södra’s Annual General Meeting will be held on 24 May in Värnamo, Sweden. At the Meeting, the association’s 200 elected representatives will consider the Nomination Committee’s proposals and vote in the election of Södra’s new Chair and new Board members.
