Success is never a solo journey but a collaborative effort

Over the past two decades, building a self-sustaining GLOBAL NETWORK ORGANISATION like IFCN has been a monumental achievement. Reflecting on this journey, I realize the crucial role that various individuals have played in shaping our success.
Today, I want to shed light on the invaluable contributions of our esteemed BOARD MEMBERS at IFCN. Established formally in 2011, the board embodied key principles that were instrumental in steering our organization forward:
1. Representation: Board members represented different stakeholders in the network (researchers, companies, academia, etc.) and acted also as feedback tool from members to IFCN management.
2. Reporting: I as a founder and shareholder of IFCN have chosen to report to the board which has helped me as "entrepreneur " to move significantly forward in personal skills and structural issues.
3. Support: The unwavering support from board members, both during bi-annual meetings and beyond, has been transformative. From strategic guidance to personal and emotional support, their contributions have been truly remarkable.
Yesterday, I had the privilege of meeting with Olaf Rosenbaum, a dedicated IFCN board member from 2011 to 2021. Olaf's exceptional business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and keen marketing insights have been invaluable. When venturing into new territories, Olaf is the kind of team member you want by your side.
Thanks Olaf for your great support and commitment to IFCN for all the years. You detected first that the work of IFCN Dairy Research Network can be described in three simple words: DAIRY DATA - KNOWLEDGE - INSPIRATION
Besides Olaf I like to also thank all other board members for joining the IFCN journey for so long and their fantastic contributions.
Thanks, Anders Fagerberg; Reyes Ernesto; Hans Jöhr; Luc Morelon; Erik Elgersma, and Uwe Latacz Lohmann.
