It is an honor to have been elected President of Skal International Seoul in a year where we are also jointly hosting the 73rd Skal World Congress with Skal Incheon in October 2nd to 7th.

I would like to thank Mr. Eric Swanson, my predecessor and Mr. Robert Sohn, World Congress 2012 Committee Chairman as well as bidding committee Co-Chairman, Mr. Henry Oh Jr. for their commitment to Skal International Seoul and for all the preparation and groundwork concerning the 73rd Skal World Congress.

My mission for the coming year is to continue to build on the preparations for the World Congress and welcome the world to our beautiful country.

I also intend to provide support for the ongoing growth of Young Skal Seoul as a way of nurturing future members of Skal International Seoul. I would like to thank Vice President, Jean Keijdener for his unfaltering efforts towards helping to establish a strong and dynamic chapter of Young Skal in our club.
