Hello everyone!
Last newsletter of 2020, an annus horribilis for many of us. But this year has also been an opportunity to re-examine our practices and models, and to integrate distance learning into our daily lives, sometimes for the better.
At the association level, the move to "full distance learning" has enabled many more alumni to use our services and come to us for training (attendance has increased more than 10-fold!).
We're also stepping up our workshopprogram in January.
As a result, more and more alumni are signing up for lifetime membership. One promotion runs until 12/31.
The development of the network of Consulates - accessible only to members - may give you one more reason to join us.
Club activity was particularly affected by the period, especially in the Convivial Clubs (local and international clubs). A few events were nevertheless able to take place, thanks to the agility of our club managers. Many thanks to them! Last but not least, the thematic Clubs also kept up their momentum.
The "almost-miraculous" organization of the ESSCA Awards last September was also a success in this context, in the opinion of all participants.
And finally, a final reminder of the 12/31 deadline for tax-exempt donations to the foundation.
The entire team of ESSCA Alumni staff and administrators join me in wishing you a very happy holiday season.
We look forward to seeing you on January 13 for our Annual General Meeting, which will be accessible remotely this year.
ESSCA is for life!
