Geneva ACG appoints new leadership for 2025-2030
In its ordinary session held this Saturday, the Assembly of the Association of Geneva Municipalities (ACG) elected its new committee for the municipal legislature 2025-2030 and named Martin Staub, the administrative councilor of Vernier, as president. The move underscores the ACG’s ongoing role as the coordinating body for Geneva’s communes and their shared interests across the canton.
The ACG’s committee serves as the organization’s executive arm. It is composed of thirteen members, chosen by representatives of the communes and structured to ensure geographical representation across the canton, in accordance with the association’s statutes. In line with these rules, the City of Geneva designated Alfonso Gomez to serve as vice-president.
Dialogue with the canton in focus
Karine Bruchez, outgoing president, presented a two-year bilan (report) of her mandate, highlighting intensified activities by the ACG and the public entities linked to it. She also lamented the lack of a sustained dialogue with the cantonal government (the Conseil d’État). Martin Staub, speaking in his first remarks as president, expressed a clear intention to re-establish constructive ties between the communes and the canton and to foster a more engaged line of communication with the cantonal authorities.
New committee members for 2025-2030
The assembly elected the following members to the committee for the 2025-2030 legislature:
- Florian Gross (Chêne-Bougeries)
- Béatrice Guex-Crosier (Bardonnex)
- Karen Guinand (Genthod)
- Carole Lapaire (Collonge-Bellerive)
- Laurence Miserez (Vandoeuvres)
- Salima Moyard (Lancy)
- Jean-Pierre Pasquier (Onex)
- Isabelle Rasmussen (Pregny-Chambésy)
- Martin Staub (Vernier)
- Laurent Tremblet (Meyrin)
- Nathalie von Gunten-Dal Busco (Confignon)
- Anne Zoller (Dardagny)
The composition reflects a commitment to geographic balance, ensuring representation from Geneva’s diverse municipalities while consolidating leadership that can coordinate shared services and policy initiatives across the canton.
Outlook: what this means for Geneva’s municipalities
The newly elected leadership signals a renewed emphasis on dialogue, collaboration, and practical governance. Staub’s presidency is expected to focus on strengthening relations with the cantonal government, advancing service efficiency for communes, and promoting coordinated approaches to regional planning, housing, transportation, and public services. For residents, the evolving ACG agenda could translate into more streamlined cooperation among municipalities and clearer channels for addressing local concerns at the cantonal level.
