Saying goodbye

Dear all
I have already announced the results of the elections.

 

I would like to share with you the last e-mail I sent to all alumni in the president position:

 

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all board members and people who cooperated with us:

• board members: Olga Nydlova, Valerie Schaferova, Katerina Chodounska, Pavlina Simurdova and Richard Bejlek
• people who supported us by organising various events, bringing some creative ideas and also taking part in the board activities: Vasek Duda, Honza Kubik, Judita Bihellerova, Lucie Zadrazilova, and Klara Miksickova (I hope I haven't missed anyone)
• and also all people who participated at the events - both speakers and audience

 

I would like to give special thanks to

• Richard Bejlek who was a treasurer since the foundation of CEMS Alumni in Prague and was the one who kept the knowledge from previous terms and passed it to the new boards including ours
• also, my big thanks go to Olga Nydlova who, as my vice-presidnet, did a great job both in supporting me in "operational" management as well as organising some of the greatest and most successful events like Networking Dinner or Coaching Seminar.

Last but not least, my thanks go also to David Kolesa and the whole CEMS Club team as well as the representatives of the university Jiri Hnilica, Gabina Bohmova and Martina Fischerova for great cooperation and support.

 

THANK YOU ALL, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN - YOUR COOPERATION MADE THIS YEAR FOR ME EVEN BETTER!

 

I feel honoured to be allowed to do this job. I believe we have moved to a new level especially by organising some quality events which required intensive preparation: Networking Dinner, Networking Seminar, Wine Tasting, Travellers Brunch, Student Profile Roundtable or Meet the Luxury.

 

There were also some other parts of our work which are less visible yet still pretty important: establishing a new shared drive accessible to the new boards with all relevant knowledge, promoting experience with our events among other local committees or obtaining the membership fees from the previous years.

 

If you have ever the chance to participate in the alumni activities do not hesitate - and use the opportunity as much as possible.

 

I will pass my duties to the new president officially on 1 May. After that I will remain in the CEMS alumni world, however I will be the one who rather enjoys the benefits :-). I am looking forward to meeting you at one of the events organised by the new board or at any other cems related opportunity.

 

Best regards
