The vote of confidence provides us with the drive to proceed forward and fulfil our common aims. 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.

Through strategic partnerships and regular communication with policymakers and key industry stakeholders, we will ensure that our collective voice is heard at the highest levels.
- Expand Our Impact
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.

In addition to networking and advocacy, we will place a strong focus on professional development. Our Association’s commitment is to continue offering programs, and educational events designed to equip members with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an evolving marketplace. Our goal is to support members in staying ahead of industry trends and challenges.
We are confident that with your support, these ambitious goals can be achieved. Our collective efforts will ensure that we remain at the forefront of our industry, adding value to all our members.
