Assembly of Delegates 2013

Last year the Assembly of Delegates met twice. In addition to its normal business, various specialist presentations and discussions were held.

At its spring meeting, the Assembly of Delegates dealt with its statutory business. It elected its President, the members and Chair of the Board of Directors, and, for a further two years, the Board of Control.

In its spring meeting, the Assembly of Delegates discussed its statutory matters. In addition, a specialist presentation on the strategic differentiation potential of cooperatives gave the delegates some important suggestions.

In the autumn meeting, the delegates heard specialist presentations on Migros' own brands and other brands as well as on Migros Culture Percentage and the Engagement Migros development fund. Under the title My dialogue with Migros, the Migros Executive Board answered a range of Migros-related questions from the delegates.

Composition and electoral procedure
In accordance with the statutes, the Assembly of Delegates comprises a total of 111 members. One hundred delegates are elected by the regional Cooperatives on the basis of a prescribed key. Each Cooperative is allocated at least five seats, and the remaining seats are distributed on the basis of member numbers for the past two calendar years prior to the election. In addition, each Cooperative designates an ad-hoc representative from its board of directors for each assembly meeting. The committee is led by a external, independent chair.

The number of delegate votes for each Cooperative is distributed as follows (elected delegates per Cooperative):
 

Migros Cooperative Zurich (MCZ)           12
Migros Cooperative Aare (MCAA)         16
Migros Cooperative Eastern Switzerland (MCOS)15
Migros Cooperative Basel (MCBS)9
Migros Cooperative Geneva (MCGE)8
Migros Cooperative Vaud (MCVD)9
Migros Cooperative Lucerne (MCLU)9
Migros Cooperative Neuchatel-Fribourg (MCNE-FR)8
Migros Cooperative Ticino (MCTI)7
Migros Cooperative Valais (MCVS)7
