President's Letter

Dear Skalleagues –

Happy 2024!  First, I know that you will join me and all of our SF SKAL Officers and Directors in sincerely thanking our past-President, Jean-Francois Drageon, for his guidance and leadership over the past two years.  His good nature and generosity have seen us through the end of the pandemic and put us on the road to a bright future for our Club.
 
Second, I wish to thank each and every one of you for your confidence in me, with my election as your next President of our prestigious Club.  Along with my team of Officers and Directors, we promise you full transparency in the months to come and know that my 'door’ is always open.  I welcome your suggestions, comments and valuable input.
 
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!
 
My challenge to each of you this year is to do your very best in bringing us new members. We have inducted some great new members in the last two years and we need to do much more to see that our Club continues to grow.  We are currently working on an incentive plan to help with that effort and will be in touch with more details soon.
 
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
