Dear Colleagues,
        I  stopped  counting  how  many  times
        I am addressing to the membership as
        1st Vice President. I am glad that practically
        all colleagues have successfully transformed
        the  business  into  online  format  and  adjusted
        the processes to the new reality.

        During the period of pandemic WAD has
        organized 22 educational webinars that
        helped people to transform and develop
        their business despite  the negative  effect of
        the pandemic. We received very positive
        feedback  from  the  membership  and  we  will
        continue developing our online educational                                                         ALEXEY SOLOMANIDIN

        I would like to thank our excellent speakers
        who  invested  their  time  and  knowledge  to
        support our members.  Almost all webinars are
        available  for  WAD  members  in  recording  on
        our Facebook page.
                                               I am really happy to see that   Stay safe and I really look forward

                                               At the end of my report, I would like
        Our Executive Committee holds regular online   to thank the Executive Management

        measures of supporting and developing the   support and hard work for our
        association. One of the proposed ideas was   association.  It is  worth  mentioning                         VICE PRESIDENT
        to establish regional meetings where WAD   that the pandemic period has

        several regions.






             It has been more than a year that we are not able to travel normally and meet each other personally. At the
             same time I can imagine how bright and emotional our next conference will be. I truly hope that you and
             your families are safe and healthy in these difficult times.

             As Duke Ellington said: “A problem is a chance for you to do your best.” I see many excellent examples in
             our association of transforming business into new online format. This is indeed motivational and we covered
             several such examples in our webinars. Many of us realized how important it is to spend time with our
             families and close ones.
             The situation is gradually improving so the light at the end of the tunnel might be closer than we expected. I
             wish all of you to overcome this new challenge and I look forward to seeing all of you on our next conference.
             Kind regards from me and my family,
