Hello all,
First let me thank Patrick Patterson, Carole Granade and all the FACCSF members for their leadership in bringing the Chamber where it is today. I think that FACCSF is a very dynamic Chamber with great things happening and I am glad to have been part of this journey since 2002.

During our annual General Meeting on June 10th, our members elected new Board Members and these Board Members elected the new Executive Committee including 6 officers - Frederic Stemmelin - Executive Vice President, Eve Chaurand-Fraser - Vice President, Antoine Villata – Vice President, Francois Muse – Treasurer, Christine Hoefliger – Secretary and myself.

Follow up:

Also, two past Presidents have chosen to become Honorary Board Members (George Chammas and Didier Perez). I would like to thank them for their support and commitment to the FACCSF.

I also would like present my sincere condolences to Henri Monjauze’s family and friends. Henri passed away on June 14 and he will be missed dearly by all our community. He was a founding member of the SF Chapter and we owe him a lot for guiding many of us as well as the Chapter for over thirty years of service.

As the new President of the Chamber, I am very excited about the opportunity of leveraging all the excellent work that has been done so far and work with the new Executive Committee, the new Board and all of you to bring this Chamber to the next level. My goal is to continue to expand what works very well today and at the same time create new areas of value for our members and for the development of the Chamber. My commitment to you is that I will bring passion, energy, business mindset, executive relationships both in France and in the US and 15 years of French American experience.

I am looking forward to see you all in our Chamber activities! Have a great Summer! Thank you.

Best Regards,
Jean-Claude Viollier
