New for this season is your personal JCC Member Card which will be sent to you as soon as we have received your payment of the Member Fee 2012.
 A few words from JCC Chairman Adam Larsson: "During 2012 there will be Changes in the JCC Committee as to the fact that three of the committee members has been or will have been a committee member for four years which is the maximum term. I would hereby like to thank Tobias Johansson for all his contributions during the past four years. Tobias has brought valuable experience from his work with the London JCC and has also been the ground pillar during all events that requires a strong voice and guidance, e.g. the Lucia songs and of course the Snaps songs at the Crayfish parties. Tobias has promised to share his vocal skills with us in the future even as a non-committee member and we are all very  grateful for that. I would also like to thank Carolien Reijen for her insightful ideas and positive and energetic approach to business and life. Carolien asked to step down as a committee member during the year due to increased business opportunities. Carolien has been replaced by her colleague at Svenska Handelsbanken, Anna Heijning-Fröberg. We whish Carolien all the success for the future and at the same time welcome Anna to the JCC committee.
Also the undersigned and our Vice Chairman Anna Lidén will have been a committee member for four years after the summer; hence there will be a need for replacement in the Committee during 2012. Therefore we encourage our members to declare their interest in becoming a JCC Committee member or recommend a suitable individual from your network. This is also an excellent opportunity for the SweCham members to recommend or nominate a talented younger colleague.
