The Dawn of a New Chapter
It was a moment filled with emotion and gratitude during the latest EAI International General Assembly. After 12 years of presidency marked by visionary leadership, unwavering dedication, and remarkable integrity, Yves Marguerat has passed the torch to Doris Moraschi, ushering in a new era for our Association.
Under Yves’s presidency, EAI International underwent a profound transformation. A true visionary, he succeeded in bringing together members from all over the world around a shared ideal: strengthening professional excellence in accounting, audit, and advisory services while fostering collaboration and innovation. Yves led the Association to new heights, doubling its membership and positioning EAI as a key player on the international stage.
A Tribute of Gratitude
In recognition of his outstanding commitment and lasting impact, the EAI Board unanimously decided to appoint Yves Marguerat as Honorary President. This prestigious title is a mark of deep respect and appreciation for his exceptional contributions, which will continue to inspire our future actions.
At the time of his nomination, Yves received a standing ovation from all members present — a heartfelt expression of the admiration and gratitude of the entire EAI community.
In accepting this honor, Yves shared a message of humility and optimism:
“Serving EAI has been a privilege. I am confident that the Association will continue to thrive under Doris’s leadership, and I will always be available to support this great family.”
A Promising New Presidency
Doris Moraschi, the first woman to chair EAI International, warmly thanked Yves for his trust and his remarkable work. Her speech emphasized the importance of building upon the solid foundation laid by her predecessor while bringing a fresh momentum to the Association.
“I am honored to follow in Yves’s footsteps and determined to continue his legacy while preparing EAI for the challenges ahead. Thank you, Yves, for your support and inspiration.”
Looking Ahead
With this handover, EAI enters a new phase of its history, driven by renewed ambition and a shared vision. As we look toward the future under Doris’s leadership, we also honor the path forged by Yves.
By conferring upon him the title of Honorary President, we affirm that his legacy will remain at the heart of our mission. Yves Marguerat — you are, and will remain, an emblematic figure of our Association. Thank you for these 12 years of dedication and for the lasting impact you have made on each of us.
May this transition inspire both continuity and innovation for EAI International — and may the torch, now in Doris’s hands, shine even brighter.
