Page 7 - WAD Beyond Global May 2021

Dear Members,

Ever since Stockholm / Sweden in 2019
we hoped and waited to see each other
again. Unfortunately in 2020 this was
not possible and we lost 2 great
destinations, Panama and Aruba.
Prague was also not possible and looks
like we have to drop Vancouver-Canada
too.
I am honored and proud to be your
President for another year and I can
assure you that WAD Officers, the
Executive Committee and I are doing
all possible for our association and
for our members during these difficult
times. We had regular meetings on
Zoom among the Executive Committee,
Ambassadors and Area Governors.

My appreciation to our 1st Vice-President
Alexey Solomanidin for organizing all
this events as well as webinars. The
webinars were great sessions with
professional speakers keeping us
updated on current developments
and it was also an opportunity to bring
members together.
