“To put it simply, I have joined the EACC because I am a firm believer in the mission of the organization. The Young Professionals Committee has been a significant benefit to not only my professional development, but to the young professionals who attend the Committee’s events. Many people say that it’s not always about the “know how” but the “know who”. The EACC is the organization of “know who” and continues to do a fantastic job of connecting individuals within the European and American business community to foster relationships and business development locally, regionally and abroad.”
