Economic reception in Gmunden: handover to new district office manager

Economic reception on Liamphatl Monday in Gmunden attracted over 300 guests from business, politics and administration. Chairman Martin Ettinger from WKO Gmunden had created a particularly festive setting: Due to the great interest, the event was transferred live to the foyer of the WKO building. The focus was on a cross -generational change, because after 30 years Robert Oberfrank handed over his post as head of the Gmunden district office to his successor Sigrid Schuster.

Sigrid Schuster comes from a strong educational policy role, she previously worked as an educational expert, but also as head of the WKO career center. Your handwriting can be found in numerous initiatives, including the newly opened talent space in Linz, the program "I will", which acts as a future planner, as well as the potential analysis and the trade fair "Youth and Profession". Her residence in Gschwandt connects Sigrid with the region, in which she will now set the tone as a contact for over 7,200 members.

Revert Robert Oberfrank reviewed his impressive career during the reception. Its achievements are numerous: from the new construction of the WKO Gmunden to the creation of technology centers to the establishment of the company construction area inkobasalzkammergut North. Oberfrank acted as a motor for many initiatives and was significantly involved in their implementation. Under his leadership, the WiFi in the district transformed into an adult education institute with over 6,000 participants annually and more than 600 courses.

For his services, Oberfrank was awarded the golden sign of earnings in the state of Upper Austria. His role as a networker has made a decisive contribution to the advocacy of the economy, which was highly recognized in the Gmunden region. "It is only right and cheap to thank him for his tireless efforts," said WKO President Doris Hummer. She wished Sigrid Schuster a lot of strength for her new challenge and was relieved that Oberfrank will remain as a department head for the district offices in Upper Austria until the middle of the next year.

This change in the WKO Gmunden not only marks the end of a successful era under Oberfrank, but also the beginning of new perspectives under the direction of Sigrid Schuster. With her experience and commitment, she will undoubtedly make a significant contribution to the further development of the economy in Gmunden.
