General Assembly of the League
By videoconference
After a four-year mandate, Albert Charpentier, the one who will go down in history as the first president of the Grand Est volleyball league, passed the hand this Sunday, during the elective general assembly of regional bodies which took place by videoconference.
61 clubs (out of 96) were represented but four could not participate in the various elections due to a technical problem. At the time of declaiming his last speech, Albert Charpentier, the man of consensus, had some tremolos in his voice: “I thank you again for the confidence you have placed in me for my mandate. I worked with my team to achieve a new balance in a territory as large as Belgium. Even if some projects have been successful, a lot remains to be accomplished ”.
21 candidates (including 6 outgoing members) presented themselves for the 16 positions to be able to the executive committee of the League. Suffice to say that the Vandoeuvre Nancy Volley-Ball achieved an almost perfect score (3/4) while at the same time the Grand Nancy VB, the largest club in the region in terms of licensees, saw its two candidates remain on the no door just like Georges Meyer, the former president of the Alsace League and Jérome Hanegreefs, the fourth representative of the vandoperian club absent during this GA.

Zero points for GNVB
The icing on the cake, the VNVB even won the presidency with the surprise election of Olivier Simon. Indeed the latter was elected in 16th and last position on the management committee by the clubs of the Grand Est.
The new president of the League, who collected 259 votes out of 488 during his presentation by the committee to the members of the GA, explained the success of his success during his inaugural speech: “It is the fruit of the work of a team (Editor’s note: the applications were individual but Olivier Simon and the VNVB had certainly worked upstream with other candidates and clubs), ”he says.
The games were therefore a little loaded for the representatives of GNVB who did not participate in this alliance. The Nancy club fell by the wayside while ASPTT Mulhouse, Saint-Dié, CAM Epinal and even Illzach saw their two candidates become administrators of the League.
