Skål Club of The Year

Communication for all Skål International Members

August 2022

Dear Skålleagues,

Despite the evident challenges that the pandemic brought especially for the tourism industry, many clubs adapted to the situation and continued working for the good of their members and the wider community.

Out of the 21 eligible clubs to enter the Skål Club of the Year, 14 have accepted the invitation and have worked with enthusiasm to submit a video presentation on the club performance from 1 January to 31 December 2021.

Skål International clubs worldwide have been invited to vote online through Election Buddy between 15 August 2022 at 00:00h CET to 14 September 2022 at 23:45h CET.

Voting Process

The link to vote has been sent to the club President of those accredited

clubs with up to 65 Active, Life, and Retired members. Those clubs with 66 or more Active, Life, and Retired members are entitled to two votes; therefore, the Secretaries of these larger clubs will also receive the voting notice.

As previously informed, clubs with unpaid membership fees exceeding Euros 200 or showing less than ten members on the Skål International database will not be allowed to vote.

Director Marja-Eela Kaskinen, Director Annette Cardenas, and CEO Daniela Otero will make up the jury on behalf of the Executive Board.

Winner’s Announcement

The new Skål Club of the Year will be announced during the 2022 Skål International World Congress and will win the Michael O’Flynn Perpetual Trophy and a certificate valid for a free double congress registration in first class for the 2023 Skål International World Congress (airfare excluded).

We wish the nominees the best of luck for the competition and encourage all clubs worldwide to be among the nominees next year.

General Secretariat
