ATD Fourth World France changes hands
Press release, Paris, October 18, 2010
Pierre Saglio has stepped down today from the Presidency of the ATD Fourth World Movement France. After having headed the Movement for eight years, he now would like to serve ATD Fourth World differently, and step down from the presidency. He believes that “it is indeed sound and important that organizations like ours give a democratic example where leaders know how to step down and let others take their place.”
Pierre-Yves Madiginer was elected by the Board of Administration to replace him. Aged 54, an executive in a global company, he has been a member of ATD Fourth World since 1976. Pierre-Yves Madignier will continue the work started by Pierre Saglio with Bruno Tardieu and Veronique Davienne, our French managers of the ATD Fourth World Movement: “I share the same ambition as Pierre Saglio to have our country progress to open access to rights to all.”
Pierre Saglio had replaced Paul Bouchet in 2002, who had replaced Genevieve Anthonioz - de Gaulle in 1998.

Marie-Aleth Grard, Claire Hedon (Vice-Presidentes),
