"During this year's meeting, listening to the members' voices, we dedicated significantly more time to discussing the future of our organization. There were many excellent ideas, and most importantly, it was evident how responsible the members feel for the association. It's crucial to emphasize that we all create it and build PIAP's strong image as a united community. Each year brings new experiences, and the upcoming year brings further challenges. We have initiatives ahead that support education, industry development, and improving PIAP's operations. We discussed in detail the goals of the newly forming European organization EAC, based in Brussels, which we are pleased to co-create. We hope to become a full member soon. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank everyone who attended the General Meeting and congratulate the jubilarians on their achievements and remarkable anniversaries." – Jacek Kozłowski, PIAP President.
