In this issue, recap the CIHT UAE Annual General Meeting 2025 and the election of its committee for the year ahead. Plus, all the latest news, catch up on events and read about all that’s been happening across the CIHT UAE Group.
It’s a privilege to step into the role of Chair for CIHT UAE at such a pivotal time. I want to thank Martin Tillman for his leadership over the past two years and Jonathan Spear for his work before that and his unwavering support for me on this journey.
In advance of the AGM, my team had already developed the CIHT UAE Roadmap in advance — laying a strong foundation that allows us to move forward with purpose and clarity from day one. As we begin implementing our CIHT UAE Roadmap, we are already seeing momentum.
We’ve rebranded from CIHT Dubai to CIHT UAE, evolved the committee structure to better support delivery, and seen a significant step forward in our communications — particularly across social media, where our presence and engagement have grown rapidly. A big thank you to Brindha Sankari and Rina Ricafort for driving these very noticeable improvements.
