Call for Board Member Nominations

As we get kicked off with 2022 and some of the changes we hope it brings, we will also have a change to our Board membership as we say goodbye to 3 members who have completed their terms with the Council; Alana Gordon (Corporate Relations), Manny Maloney (General Counsel), and Sophia Skinbjerg (Marketing). Hiba Larsson (Vice Chair of Finance) will be ending her term early as she has taken an exciting opportunity and moved to Abu Dhabi.

2021 was a challenging year in some ways, with the pandemic dragging on until summer and then resurgence over winter. But we are proud of what the Board has achieved and hope that our members have appreciated the benefits in terms of networking and professional events!

We believe that 2022 is going to be year of resurgence for the Council’s social activities, with some great opportunities and events. As a member of the Board, you can help us to build on the network and continue to offer excellent events and opportunities for our members.
