Atlanta’s French-American Chamber of Commerce has named at least two new board members to its slate of 20 directors and two honorary positions.
Severine Rigaud, CEO and founder of ELIKYA LLC, and Elodie Attali Rolland, finance and risk manager for Pratt Industries were among the French candidates added to the board, while other French members retained their seats. The addition of two women made for the chamber’s first time achieving gender parity on the board, with 10 men and 10 women occupying seats.
John Woodward, vice president of global commerce at the Metro Atlanta Chamber, and Vanessa Ibarra, director of the city’s International affairs office, an honorary board member, also retained their seats. New new American directors seem to have been added to the list.
Ten positions were up for grabs at the general assembly Jan. 27. The chamber also recently named a new executive director, Katherine Lafourcade. Learn more about her here, or go here to see the full slate of board members.
