for that reason in june this year you will have seen that we signed a
00:09:31
memorandum of understanding with both a. i. p. c. and ruthie representing the g. three alliance
00:09:39
this partnership will allow us to collaborate on areas such as research

for the economic and societal change our industry brings
00:09:57
and twenty nineteen has allowed us to see two great examples of
00:10:01
how it prevents can support the growth of asset sector enclosed destinations
00:10:08
firstly in g. because i am p. events was attended
00:10:12
by one hundred and twenty eight delegates in association with executives
00:10:16
in the wonderful city but the that understanding i see see the oven convention centre

00:11:35
all the while aligned to the industrial strategy of israel as a country
00:11:41
a shining example of how our industry can support societal and economic development
00:11:49
against this historic background the boulder able to debate it 'cause features strategic direction
00:11:55
and re evaluate the existing five year plan which was published back in twenty fifty
00:12:02
i'm pleased to say that the work that began in tel aviv was
00:12:06

00:12:24
we thank all director file hell of a and the team and elevate if for making all of this possible thank you
00:12:38
now one of the key areas of debates stronger bikes thicker over recent
00:12:43
is as being how we've all our relationship with the associations we serve
00:12:49
moving from supply by relationship so that's of real partnership and collaboration
00:12:56
traditionally it has engaged with association executives until close relationships with
00:13:01
them including our associations portal the creation of a curve verified associations
00:13:09
and increase participation by them in our events however our statutes and bibles
00:13:15
that meant that we have not been able to include them as full members
00:13:20
there has been great debate over many is about how we deal with this challenge
00:13:27
and so uh working group comprising board members months ago
00:13:31
ms filing crawford any christy cosmo great valley and saying apollo
00:13:37
toss confining a proposal for our future relationship that would
00:13:41
be relevant for our members and true to our mission
00:13:46
the initial proposal shade in a town hold update that congress into by last year all
00:13:52
to be frank mixed views from it remembers and it was clear that further work is required
00:13:58
so to assess the working group i would very much like to thank our colleagues linda best
00:14:06
so i mean the just evil friendships friendships and ben could either
00:14:11
who gave their time and to be honest very frank opinions so that we were able
00:14:16
to find a way forward that would work for a cat and work for our association executives
00:14:23

00:14:44
bracing associations provide us with a greater understanding of their needs now and in the future
00:14:51
helping to grope because relevance whilst maintaining our unique values and integrity
00:14:59
and now the final in of innovation i wish to share as part of
00:15:03
this report is linked to the vision i set out in my speech into by
00:15:10
it had to continue to thrive in an
00:15:12
increasingly complex world it must recognise a challenge faced
00:15:17
by many international associations that have the potential future leadership vacuum
00:15:24
and a lack of continuity that could lead to the demise of the association
00:15:29
it is not immune to this situation and so the
00:15:32
idea of establishing a shadow ball with of younger become members
00:15:37
provides us with the opportunity to go by the next generation of our future leaders
00:15:44
this in turn will stimulate interest from a younger member category
00:15:49
raise awareness within the next year members providing opportunity for
00:15:53
engagement and contributions last ensuring continuity and depth within the association
00:16:01
it would also allow us to explore new thinking i
00:16:04
wouldn't shoulder board of directors is continually challenged with new ideas

00:21:54
here in the city of houston so inextricably linked with the nasa space program
00:21:59
we reminded early for the eye of the statement by the then president john f. kennedy
00:22:06
rice stadium here in houston texas on the
00:22:10
twelfth of september nineteen sixty to where he said
00:22:16
we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do
00:22:20
the other things not because they are easy because they are false
00:22:27
and it 'cause pull directors had to make some hard decisions over the past two years
00:22:33
not because they were easy but because they were right for the future of our association
00:22:40
and as you'll hear from sense so since the turn of this
00:22:43
year we have been seeking new ways of creating value for our members
00:22:48
resulting in a very positive up would shift and expected results
00:22:53
for twenty ninety and a very ambitious budget for twenty twenty
00:22:59
this is part of the long term vision to enable investment in new products and services which
00:23:04
in certain will provide additional benefits to members
00:23:08
with ready revenue generation through new partnerships and services
00:23:13
as opposed to reliance simply on membership fees
00:23:18
in addition this allows to bolster our reserves to safeguard decca against the
00:23:23
possible political and economic vicissitudes that all our organisations face in the model well
00:23:31
sent so let's see
00:23:34
thank you james push it back a journey to urge achieving transformation started six months ago when i
00:23:41
started in that all of you can see you have been extensively working on the objectives of eco
00:23:48
so we see now members it's indeed might wanna to present you the financial off finances of econ
00:23:53
i mean i didn't update on twenty eighteen results the current situation and future plans
00:24:01
at the general assembly in prague twenty seventeen become members approved two thousand eighteen budget
00:24:07
which said our up line gives it all you know hundred and thirty eight thousand eight hundred unnerving
00:24:13
for considerable investments in particular and you see i'm system what you class future business needs for them all
00:24:21
during two thousand eight the board of directors didn't mean that a change of
00:24:25
leadership what you got was requiring resulting in the departure of the pharmacy you
00:24:31
this decision in quite understood and expected cost which will factor into the full cost
00:24:37
for the remainder of two thousand eighteen and the plan budget for two thousand nineteen
00:24:43
the only done and will report of two thousand eighteen shows final results
00:24:47
which combine the plan to visit and also an additional expenditure on stop cost
00:24:52
which include new positions will the costs related to the departure of the pharmacy you
00:24:59
because appointed auditors b. w. c. confirm that all
00:25:04
expenditures with regard to the departure of the policy you
00:25:08
should be included in the annual report and accounts for two thousand eighteen
00:25:13
the results of two thousand eighteen people but showing admit defeat all
00:25:18
euro two five hundred and sixty four thousand eight hundred and eighty two
00:25:23
in two thousand nineteen be cutting in all the little bit of business has sought
00:25:28
to bring innovation and creativity to which activities and to seek ways to improve member services
00:25:35
the separate so only deliver tangible results anybody's expect the ladies

00:26:27
relations part yes sponsors and other partners this year

00:26:49
such as this congress not to forget the incredible support from our local park no basic houston
00:26:56
overall the billy will achieve a posse bottom line target well for the year rather than activity
00:27:01
this is a remarkable achievement thanks to all of our sponsors and partners
00:27:08
in twenty twenty you guys anticipating and forecasting i root
00:27:13
in you need to put it down over with and i'm sure
00:27:16
the budget increase of approximately eighty percent compared to two thousand nineteen
00:27:21
think reason that don't always proposed to the object you up building extra
00:27:25
an innovative solutions to become members and to allow for the mets ones
00:27:30
on you can service delivery in line previous policy you kind and
00:27:34
send membership fees will be limited to arise in line with dutch inflation
00:27:39
with many activities such as you making associations to china cry
00:27:44
bands and offering them so this just to improve their meetings
00:27:47
it probably continue to invest in relations with that position executives in twenty twenty
00:27:53
because we'll be nesting any improvements of the websites
00:27:57
knowledge how you guys association database double big data technology
00:28:01
