Happy Holidays and a look back at 2024

As the year draws to a close, I would like to extend my best wishes for the holiday season. This time of reflection and celebration is the perfect opportunity for me to share with you the significant progress we’ve made within our wonderful association.

First and foremost, I would like to warmly thank you for the exceptional welcome you have given me since my arrival. The many connections I have had the privilege of making, the rich exchanges of ideas you have shared, and the enthusiasm that drives our community remind me every day how fortunate I am to collaborate with you. I am confident that 2025 will bring great achievements as we continue to grow our network while meeting the needs of each and every one of you.

The past few months have been marked by accomplishments we can all be proud of. Among them, I highlight:

• A record attendance at our Symposium, a clear testament to the interest and engagement of our community.
• The completion of an inspiring and structured strategic exercise, which will guide our future actions with clarity and ambition.
• A magnificent recognition gala, where we celebrated excellence in project management.
• The recent adoption of the PMI’s single membership model by our members. A major milestone for our association!

These achievements are the result of collective effort and exemplary collaboration between committed volunteers, dedicated and meticulous board members, an effective and dedicated staff team, and authentic, generous partners.

In 2025, I hope we will continue to build strong and strategic connections and push the boundaries of our ambitions together. May this new year be marked by remarkable accomplishments and continued growth of our community.

In the meantime, I invite you to fully enjoy this holiday season to rest, recharge, and celebrate your individual and collective achievements. Take the time to dream about what you wish to accomplish in 2025, and allow yourself to be inspired by those aspirations.

Happy holidays to all, and I look forward to continuing this wonderful journey with you in the new year!

With all my gratitude and best wishes,
