Frida Ånnevik was elected as a new board member of TONO at TONO's annual meeting on Tuesday, May 29. An amendment to TONO's statutes was also adopted, which means that the annual meeting will elect the board's chair and deputy chair.
/ 30/05/2018 / Willy Martinsen
Rita Engedalen resigned after having held a vacant seat on TONO's board since 2013 as a representative of the independent shareholders in the cooperative TONO SA. The nomination committee's recommendation proposed that all the permanent seats be continued, with the exception of the one vacant seat, where Frida Ånnevik had been nominated. Sverre Indris Joner was the only new name proposed among the alternates. The annual meeting approved the nomination committee's recommendation.
Thus, TONO's board of directors and deputies consists of the following names (boldface marks which were up for election this year):
Manager |
Deputy representative |
|
| NOPA | Ingrid Kindem (re-election) | Jon-Willy Rydningen (1st alternate)
Arvid W. Solvang (2nd alternate) (re-election) |
| Tove Bøygard | ||
| NKF | Stine Sorlie | Kristin Bolstad (1st alternate) (re-election)
Glenn Erik Haugland (2nd alternate) |
| Jørgen Karlstrøm (re-election) | ||
| MF | Philip Kruse | Unni Boretti (1st alternate) (re-election)
Stine Osmo Lieng (2nd alternate) |
| Kai Robøle (re-election) | ||
| Free space | Stian Westerhus | Bugge Wesseltoft |
| Frida Ånnevik (NOPA) (new) | Jan Stefan Bengtsson (MF) (re-election) | |
| Ine Kristine Hoem | Sverre Indris Joner (NOPA/NKF) (new) |
In addition, the board consists of Håvard Offer-Ohlsen (employee representative) and Line Marie Langøien (employee representative), and the deputy representatives Hege Dreyer Harstad, Ellen Tove Gunleiksen and Øystein Haugland. These are not elected by the annual meeting, but by TONO's employees, for two years at a time. The elections follow the procedures set out in the representation regulations, FOR-2017-08-24-1277. There are no elections for employee representatives in 2018.
TONO's board had also proposed a change to TONO's statutes, which was adopted. The change means that it will be the annual meeting, and not the board, that elects the board's chairman and deputy chairman. This means in practice that TONO will return to the election system that applied up to and including 2012. The changes mean that new wording will now be included in three paragraphs of TONO's statutes.
