Rotary International Birmingham Convention

REMaRAG was at STAND 380 in the 

House of Friendship

Our Annual General Meeting with Frédéric Baur as guest speaker took place on 

WEDNESDAY 24th JUNE 

11.30 - 12.30

Regrettably for the first time ever attendance at our AGM  was very sparse, usually we have to close the doors on 100+  This year our meeting coincided with a Plenary session and the location of our breakout room was a good 15 minute walk away from the H of F and not the easiest of routes.  Nevertheless Frédéric gave us plenty to think about for the future and our working relationship with Syngenta augurs well for the future.

Frédéric Baur is a fellow from the Mulhouse Rotary Club (D. 1680). He was invited to join in 2008 with the objective of kicking-off a community based project for malaria prevention. He is French and grew up in Dakar, Senegal where he caught malaria, as many children there. He is currently Global Head of Vector Control for Syngenta since January 2008. For Syngenta and previously Novartis Crop Protection, he was Business lead for fruit and vegetable crops for the region Europe / Africa / Middle-East (2004-2007), Head of Marketing Germany (2002-2004), Head of Marketing Korea (1998-2002) and marketing manager insecticides for Latin America (1996-1998). From 1984 to 1988, he was Operation Director for a French cotton company in Togo and Zaire.

He holds a master in Agronomy from Gembloux University in Belgium and is married to Juliet who is English.  They have a son of 14 and daughter of 12. The family lives in France, in the Switzerland and Germany border region and Frédéric works in Basel, Switzerland.
