January 2024

 

Dear Fellow AIC Members,

 Happy New Year!  I wish you all a healthy and prosperous 2024!

 As we begin a new year, I wish to thank you dear members for your loyalty to the Club and placing trust in me and my team when you re-elected us for another term at our AGM in December.  I also express our heart-felt gratitude to the Club’s volunteers and corporate sponsors for their greatly valued dedication and support.  Together we helped the AIC maintain its status as the English-speaking Club of reference in the Geneva international community by leveraging our two key strengths:  (1) membership of multinational professionals from diverse industries and backgrounds and (2) flagship events (Speakers Series, July 4th and Thanksgiving Celebrations and AIC Sports Tournaments).

During 2023 we continued to improve our value proposition to members and corporate partners through new initiatives such as the Professionals & Entrepreneurs Series of evening events along with providing high quality networking, mentoring, cultural and sporting activities. 

Looking ahead to 2024, we expect another exciting year with further progress in the area of communications.  We plan to use our newly redesigned AIC website (www.amclub.ch) and the upcoming relaunch of our AIC E-Newsletters to raise the profile of the Club and attract new members.  Here are a few examples of upcoming events planned this year:

  • Our lunchtime presentations, including speakers Helene Budliger Artieda, State Secretary and Head of the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and Alexandre de Sanarclens, President of Geneva International Motor Show.
  • Webinar with Marylouise Serrato, Executive Director of American Citizens Abroad.
  • Winter Outdoors sporting activities of tobogganing and snowshoeing along with our renowned AIC Annual Golf Tournament and AIC Annual Tennis Tournament.
  • Our hallmark annual American Celebrations: the July 4th family picnic and the Thanksgiving Charity Gala.
  • Activities for young professionals such as the 4th Annual AIC Mentoring Program and Professionals & Entrepreneurs evening events with relevant career-oriented topics.
  • Social events such as the AICC Gala Evening as well as our popular Monthly Apéros that take place on the 1st Thursday each month at Café Fika.

We again thank you very much for your loyalty and support and look forward to welcoming you soon to one of our AIC events!

Kind regards,

Phillip Sundquist

AIC President
