WELCOME A busy year ahead A
Eric Norman FCSI Chair, FCSI The Americas
I
t’s important to acknowledge Mario Sequeira FCSI and his impeccable leadership
in steering us through an extremely tough year. A big thank you too, to all past board members, with a special mention to Clara Pi FFCSI, Greg O’Connell and Steve Sidd FCSI for their commitment. We are grateful to those who joined us for the annual board meeting. Members who registered received a hamper of WA wine and nibbles.
t the beginning of November 2021, members of the FCSI TAD board
were fi nally able to have our fi rst face-to-face board meeting in two years. It was so refreshing to fi nally sit in the same room and not be communicating through a video conference call. The board was able to review what has transpired over the last two years as well as chart a course moving in to 2022. A vote went out to the
general membership with regards to allowing this board to serve an additional one-year term. This was not a by-law change, but a one-time vote by the general membership. The vote passed with an overwhelming majority and on behalf of the entire board, I’d like to thank you. We look forward to serving the Society for an additional year. As we move towards 2022,
it is a good time to refl ect on the opportunities and
challenges of the last year. Even though the pandemic is still ongoing, it seems that our industry is on the road to rapid recovery. Almost all the consultants I have spoken to recently have said they are busy with new and ongoing project work. That is very welcome news to end the year. Lastly, I would like to wish all of you Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year. Cheers to good fortune and prosperity in 2022.

Travel has thankfully been possible in the EAME region for some time now, so the EAME board recently reunited to, among other things, prepare for the rescheduled FCSI EAME Conference. It was great to see each other face- to-face. We are making great
The FCSI Asia Pacifi c Division (APD) board for the next two years is: chair, Andrew Brain FCSI; secretary/ treasurer, Steve Sidd FCSI; trustees, Larry Anderson FCSI, John Thomas FCSI, Jimmy Wong FCSI; Allied member representative, Greg O’Connell; past chair: Mario Sequeira FCSI. As chair, I’d welcome contributions from members in the APD region with expertise in their indigenous food. Our region has the
richest, most diverse food culture history. FCSI APD will benefi t from embracing foodservice of all origins. Due to travel restrictions Singapore FHA in November was a virtual event. However, we look forward to the APD meeting face-to-face in 2022. The last two years have taught us that we need to pivot quickly to tackle challenges and embrace opportunities as we strive to share, support and inspire each other.

And, on that front, we are pleased to announce that the FCSI EAME Conference will take place on 12-15 May 2022 in Chantilly, a small, romantic town located near Paris. It has one of the most beautiful, and most- visited, castles in France. The theme of this conference is #TACT22:
