Finat Young Managers Club to host global congress
After a successful summit last year, the Finat Young Managers Club (YMC) is holding its first Global YMC Congress, open to both YMC members and non-members, at Westin Hotel in Berlin, Germany, on November 28-30 2012.
Finat’s Young Managers Club was created for industry managers under 40 years of age. The club has expanded from its initial focus of succession planning within the many industry SMEs.
‘Since its origin in 2009, Finat’s YMC has run several successful meetings and workshops from which the idea to organize a first global congress was born,’ said Francesc Egea of IPE Innovaciones Para Etiquetajes, Spain, and chairman of YMC. ‘Meanwhile we are pleased to see the progress we have made in our global approach by collaborating with our colleagues from LMAI in India, TLMI in US and VskE in Germany – the hosting association/country of this very first edition.’
‘To date we have attracted 63 members from across the globe. They represent a mix of managers from local family run businesses, but also middle- and higher-level managers from larger label converters and suppliers alike. As in our industry in general, we have predominantly male members, hence I'd like to launch a call particularly to all female professionals to join and strengthen our YMC,’ said Dana Kilarska of Purgina, Slovakia, and board member and treasurer of YMC.
The congress will provide networking and the opportunity to share experiences and obtain knowledge from industry experts all over the world. The congress brings workshops and presentations on a broad variety of topics.
The YMC Board is comprised of: chairman Francesc Egea, IPE-Innovaciones (Spain); vice chairman Nicola Motetta, Euroadhesiv (Italy); treasurer Dana Kilarska, Purgina (Slovakia); PR/membership recruitment responsible Bibiana Rodriguez, Rotatek (Spain); and program managers Peter Dhondt, Cerm (Belgium) and Pawandeep Sahni, Weldon Celloplast (India).
