Florian went on to say, "We should discuss how to improve our work and make it really worth joining the NACE-meetings. I would like to improve the knowhow of the regional views on the international level. If possible, we could try this already while preparing our meetings. In this respect one might think of some representation in a steering committee of NACE where SE-Asia, Europe, N-America und possible S-America would have a representation. I will try to discuss this with President John Bell and CEO David McMillan on the next Board-Meeting in Berlin. Looking forward to see you all on our next meeting in May or June 2005!"
Florian Hew has already served for several years on the IH&RA Board. As NACE Chairman, he will lead the "National Association Chief Executives Council", otherwise known as "NACE", which will meet in the spring, late May/early June. The exact time, date and location of the NACE Council meeting will be confirmed shortly.
Jean-Paul Herzog, Senior Vice President Nordic Hilton & Scandic, Hilton International, is the IH&RA Chains Council Chairman and will be leading the IH&RA Chains meeting to take place 15 March in Berlin.
