Why

It’s apparent we need a chapter in France. As one of Europe’s most beautiful incentive destinations, it’s important that we gather as an industry to network and produce educational events. All of the other major European countries have SITE chapters – Germany, Belgium, Spain, Great Britain, Ireland, etc. and they are thriving! There is a huge opportunity to develop the chapter, grow members, and get everyone more MICE business.

Who

You! I contacted you because we’ve met in the past 6 months.

…plus the 6 SITE members who are located in France without a chapter. Let’s create the forum, start the dialogues and the chapter will form naturally. We need at least 20 members to officially establish SITE France, and eventually we need approval from the International Board of Directors (IBOD). You can see the 2019 IBOD list here.

Membership is $445.00 USD annually, by individual. If you apply in October, you receive a total of 15 months of membership (October through the following December).

When

Next 6 months. By the end of 2019, I’d like to have an official Board of Directors formed.
