New board elected for the Swiss LGBTI Label

20. August 2025

At the extraordinary general assembly on 11 August 2025, the Swiss LGBTI Label association elected three new board members: Sandra Fritzsche (WyberNet), Raphael Hadad (Network) and Hansruedi Zellweger (Network).

With this election, the board is strengthened and broadened for the tasks ahead.

Until a new presidency is elected, Theres Bachofen will serve as interim president. Cordula Niklaus will also remain a member of the board. The election of the new presidency will take place at an upcoming general assembly.

The new election follows the resignation of Bernd Krajnik, who stepped down after three years of dedicated service as co-president and board member. The association warmly thanks Bernd for his great commitment.
