AGN INTERNATIONAL 10th ANNIVERSARY |
|
January 1, 2006 marks the 10th anniversary of the foundation of AGN International. Those firms who founded the organization in 1996 have seen a dramatic change not only in the size of the organization (from 122 firms with US$458 million turnover to the current level of 199 firms with just over US$1 billion turnover), but also a considerably enhanced level of professionalism within it. The resources now made available to member firms are substantial and will continue to be built up.
|
On behalf of the International Board of Directors, I would like to thank the members for being part of this organization and contributing to its success over the last ten years. The Board is continually putting in place strategies to take our organization into the future and bring even greater benefits to the membership , and with members' continuing help, the success levels achieved in the last ten years will be surpassed with ease.
Nicholas Blake
Chief Executive Officer
