I am not aware of many programs or career paths in
which you are awarded during the journey. Active leadership within the Vivit community
will provide you with such an opportunity. Moreover, it boosts your skills in organizing
and hosting events and networking, and it boosts your career by carving the way
you look for and follow trends and by providing a unique stage that creates
visibility for you, your skills and your organization. And sometimes it just
drives you into other realms like developing your killer presentation
skills.
Over 120 amazing members from around the world have already
started this journey with Vivit as leaders of local chapters and worldwide Special Interest Groups (SIGs), speakers, or directors. As it is time for our annual
EMEA awards, I am pleased to put the spotlight on a few of our members who have
been nominated by fellow members for their outstanding skills and
contributions.
