The Assembly of Associates al Directive Committee 477, at the conclusion of the extraordinary meeting held in Rome on 12 January 2019, approved the transformation of the Committee into a Social Promotion Association, the complete replacement of the Statute and the adoption of the new name "Union of Italian APS Armigers" (for brevity also "UNARMI"). In any case, it was decided to add the previous one to the new denomination for a period of time, in order to prevent abuses or misunderstandings and to underline that it is the same subject and not a new association.
The Assembly also elected Councilor the Dr. Filiberto Franchi, hunter and collector already close to our association for some time and active since his early youth in hunting associations, with which the Board of Directors warmly congratulates for his new position. The changes made by the new Statute, which required months of evaluations and preparation, represent a substantial renewal of the Association in order to guarantee it a more efficient structure and optimal representativeness at public and institutional level and fully respond, in addition to regulatory provisions introduced by the Third Sector Reform, to all the operational needs that emerged in the first years of activity and to the useful suggestions received from associates and collaborators.
It is also a duty to thank all the associates who took part in the Assembly and especially those who came from afar, traveling hundreds of kilometers to actively participate in the life of the Association in the first real opportunity for meeting, discussion and collegial decision. Strengthened by recent successes, but aware of the numerous problems that still afflict us, we can face the challenges that lie before us more calmly and with greater determination.
