I am hoping that you are well rested, spent some quality time with your loved ones, and got an excellent start into a hopefully peaceful and prosperous 2017.

As we reflect a bit on the last few months and the various local, national, regional and international activities (also covered in this newsletter), we can be proud of being part of an active and prospering organization such as ours.

It is now our joint responsibility to move forward, develop, lift this powerful organization up to the next level, and turn it into a great, impactful, global movement.

The smooth transition from the successful transformation project towards vision 2020+  will be our guiding light.

Please take this as a call for engagement, involvement, a call to action for enabling us to realize this important endeavor together.

We know and feel that, together, we can achieve this and make it happen!

Alex Tichy,
AAI President
