Friends,

As the end of the year approaches, we're deep into planning for our Business Development trip to France June 7-16, 2023. We still have a few slots left on our delegation; join our online session at 9:30a on 12/8 to learn more and to save your seat!

Of course, we still have plenty of programming left in 2022! First comes our monthly German-themed Stammtisch networking event on Thursday 12/1 at Hofbräuhaus Newport. Then EACC YP's (35 & below) will have the opportunity to gain 'Executive Insights' from Luxottica/EyeMed executive (and incoming EACC Board President) Nelly Bonniol on Wednesday, 12/7. Our new "Dayton Stammtisch" is set for Tuesday, 12/13, and then on 12/14 we have our last Coffee & Commerce event of the year featuring our outgoing and incoming Board Presidents who will reflect on our progress in the past two years and on what lies ahead - we hope you can join us.

"Behind the Scenes" below we give you a quick recap of our 2023 Annual General Meeting and welcome our new Board Members and Officers.

Finally, we encourage EACC members to check out a new addition to the Cincinnati holiday calendar, the Cincinnati Christkindlmarkt at Moerlein Lager House, which runs from now until December 31. Greg Hardman, who runs Moerlein Lager Haus, tells me he wants this to become a celebration not just of Germany but Europe!
