Dear Ladies and Gentlemen
I couldn’t agree more with the words of Dr. Gunter Voswinckel. Due to the
excellent work of Phillip Knight and the support of his team-assistants
Debi Colemann and Jackie Dickinson, I was able to take over the position
as Executive Secretary without any obstacles.
From the early beginning I was convinced that we should follow a dou-
ble-tracked path. On the one hand it was only sensible to adopt what
was good with the ITA’s standards, on the other hand it was necessary to
raise new bars.
First and foremost we want to continue the excellent customer care the
ITA is known for, both during all the trade-fairs, where the ITA is repre-
sented worldwide, and of course also in the meantime. We always want
to offer you our experience and knowledge, an open ear and perfect
consultancy. Secondly we intend to be always as loyal and faithful to
our valued cooperation partner Messe Düsseldorf as Messe Düsseldorf can
expect us to be.
And additionally we want to set new standards, especially with the re-
launch of the ITA website and the ITAtube Journal, the successor of the
former ITAN. Our intention is to open both instruments more for the
audience, in order to win new target groups, especially women and young
professional. For instance, we are installing new interactive functions
on our website, i.e. an expert forum for an intensive and reasonable
exchange, a knowledge base and a job center to search and find the
right professionals or the right profession. You will have the possibility
to follow us – and comment - on twitter and we will install a facebook
group, as to win more and new target groups accordingly. The ITAtube
Journal comes with new columns, in order to represent the industry as
well as the developments of new products. One major modernization will
be the implementation of advertising possibilities for our members. We
will provide the media data in due course.
All these renewals will only be possible with your encouragement and
your active participation! We would highly appreciate your respected in-
put, comments, proposals and even criticism. The idea of a strong and
successful international network and a coherent worldwide community
can only be achieved if the organization and it’s valued members act in
concert.
Every ending can mark a new beginning. We have already started …
Greetings from
Peter Byroslawsky
