As we collectively strive to build a more vibrant and inclusive community, I propose a comprehensive “Skal International Europe Area Committee Membership Development Plan.” This plan seeks to empower our organization with the tools, strategies, and collaborative spirit needed to attract new members and provide them with meaningful opportunities for engagement and growth.

Allow me to outline the key components of this ambitious plan, a plan designed to propel Skal International Europe to new heights as we embrace the challenges and opportunities of the evolving travel and tourism landscape. Together, we can shape the future of Skal in Europe and continue to make a positive impact on our industry.
