CEEES Presidents Day 2017

A meeting of the current Presidents of the National Societies comprising CEEES and the past Presidents of CEEES was inaugurated on the 4th July 2017 at the Royal Military Academy in Brussels. This unique meeting in the CEEES calendar had been instigated by the current CEEES President David Delaux and organised by the CEEES secretariat Patrycja Perrin.

The purpose of this Presidents day meeting was to allow the exchange of information on the current status and future direction of the individual National Societies and to identify future roles for CEEES.

The meeting started with short opening addresses from the current CEEES president and past presidents of the French and Belgium societies. After this, each National Society represented, gave a short talk on the status of their society and were it saw its future role. The majority of these talks were followed by a short question and answer session, allowing the remaining societies to establish a fuller understanding of the society’s future goals.

At the end of the session the current CEEES President summarised the situation and aims.

The Presidents day was punctuated by two breaks for cocktails to allow the current and past presidents to exchange ideas and to get know each other better. These breaks were also attended by the Presidents partners who were participating in a separate tour. After the meeting the Presidents and their partners adjourned to the nearby restaurant Le Monde est Petit, for a Presidents Day dinner.
