President's Letter

Dear Skalleagues –

Happy 2025!  As I enter my second year as President of SKAL San Francisco, I want to once again thank all of our members for your confidence in me and my team and I also reflect back on our Club accomplishments in 2024.

Most importantly, we inducted 5 new members in to our Club – representing a 15% membership increase!  My sincere thanks to those of you who helped bring these new members to us.  It is through your referrals and friendships in the industry that result in our Club’s growth.

It’s also important to note that we’ve brought in some high profile hotel and airline members!
This adds to the quality and prestige of our Club.  So my challenge to you all once again is to tell your friends and associates in the industry about us and please – invite them as your guest to our meetings so that they can experience the professionalism and camaraderie that exists at SKAL San Francisco!
 
It is only through the active participation of every single member of SKAL International San Francisco that we will continue to thrive and be a vibrant part of the travel industry in the Bay Area and around the globe!
 
We had some great new venues last year for our meetings and continuing the same in 2025.  Our summer outing by private yacht on the Bay was a smash hit and we look forward to another creative event this summer.

Again, I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!  I look forward to seeing all of our Skalleagues at one of our meetings very soon.

SKAL!
 
Lori Jepsen, President
SKAL International – San Francisco
