The outcome of the 12th AGM and the synthesis of the new Board has already been communicated to all members earlier this week. It goes without saying that all the Board members, our staff and myself as President are always at your disposal.
As we embark on a new term, I am excited to share, the goals and objectives that will guide our association’s activities and initiatives in the coming months. Together, we aim to continue fostering innovation, collaboration, and growth within our industry.

Our members are the lifeblood of our Association. We will enhance member engagement by offering more networking opportunities, expanding professional development resources, and creating open forums for sharing insights and best practices. Your input and active participation are essential in shaping these initiatives.

We believe in the power of community and one of our core goals this year is to expand our Association’s reach. Whether through growing our membership base, building stronger relationships with external stakeholders, or exploring new avenues for collaboration, we aim to amplify the positive impact we have on the industry.
