What it is
The AGM 2026 is where the SHESA family gathers to decide, celebrate, and pass the torch. This year the assembly comes to Yaoundé.
Every branch, every sector, every chapter, under one roof to elect, resolve, and set the year ahead.
A gala for the scholars, a moment for the founders, a memory for the record.
