As a part of our 2024/25 board strategy to revitalize our local communities, I am pleased to share that we're rebuilding our presence in Brussels.?Nicholas Bruneau, our board member responsible for our new communities initiative,?is working with Brussels-based communications professional,?Ruxandra Bosilca?to bring our people back together with informal networking. Ruxandra and I met with other communication professionals in Brussels,?see the?LinkedIn post,?to discuss this and listen. We aim to bring back knowledge-sharing sessions and a Brussels City Connect. This will?only be possible with your support. Find out how?in my full?September update, along with?all the IABC EMENA resources on our website.
