Daniel Vergnes was a full member of the CCI, invested in supporting businesses, until 2022. He is one of the founders of the Réseau Entreprendre, created in 2022 to support business creators and buyers.
Committed to volleyball
Committed, he was also committed to others, whether on the humanitarian level, within the Food Bank, or on the associative and sporting level, within Poitevin volleyball from the first hour, then the association of partners Les amis du volleyball, created in 2022, to prepare for the relaunch of the club.
