Schulverlag plus AG is one of the leading publishers of teaching materials and is owned half by the cantons of Aargau and half by Zurich. Since July, the Board of Directors has been newly appointed. The new Chairman of the Board of Directors is Irene Frei.
Irene Frei (picture), independent interim manager and consultant, is the new Chairman of the Board of Schulverlag plus AG. She replaces Dr. Robert Abt, who is stepping down after 14 years in office.
