January'24 Message from the President


Annette Cardenas

Skål International President, 2024

Engagement is the cornerstone of our success.

It's through active participation, shared ideas, and collaborative initiatives that we can propel Skål International to even greater heights. Each member's involvement and commitment play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our organization.


This year we begin operating under our new governance, a unique model where every region has a seat at the table giving us the opportunity to leverage our diverse experiences, knowledge and resources while strengthening our association and seizing new opportunities.

This is also the year where we celebrate our 90th anniversary and, I think it is important, as we begin the year, to reflect on the significance of this milestone. That our journey spans nearly a century is a testament to our resilience, dedication, and the enduring spirit of collaboration and friendship among our members.

To commemorate this very special ocassion we have created a special logo to emphasize the significance of this moment.  We are sharing it with you so that you may use it also to spread the word - 90 years and still going strong!

 

I am very proud and excited to be your president during this historic moment for our organization. I am fully committed to work side by side with our executive board and all Skålleagues around the globe to inspire one another and build a legacy that will carry us forward for another 90 years and beyond.

I Invite all of you to work together towards a shared vision; “Building bridges for a stronger Skål” and continue writing the remarkable story of Skål International.

Yours in Skål,


Annette Cardenas

Skål International President, 2024
