I am extremely humbled & honored to have been elected as the 2022-2023 President of FIABCI-USA with your support. This is a huge privilege, but also a very big responsibility, which I can only hope to fulfill. As you certainly can imagine, with most new challenges, one is only partially aware of what to expect. I have tremendous respect of the task before me, and I will give my best to serve the organization, to help achieve its goals, and to promote the agenda of FIABCI-USA for the benefit of all our members. As a guideline to my tenure as President I’d like to stress the importance of being open and inclusive. This for me also means embracing the challenges we face as we continue build this great organization. And it also means working together while respecting each other for the common cause. We are starting the term with some needed changes to the structure in our organization, as you have seen in a recent email. The newly appointed leaders will work with membership to be more engaged and take advantage of every benefit FIABCI has to offer. Education & networking always play a big role in business development, I will continue to work with your support, toward providing all necessary resources for our members. I look forward to working together, with every member for our mutual success. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me at any time your thoughts and ideas.
