President's New Year's Greetings and -Message
Dear colleagues, dear friends,
At the start of this new year, I would like to personally, and on behalf of the board, wish you a healthy, joyful, and professionally fulfilling New Year.
The past year has once again demonstrated how indispensable notary staff are for the quality, continuity, and reliability of the notarial profession in Europe.
Your daily commitment, professionalism, and sense of responsibility form the backbone of our professional practice and contribute to citizens' trust in our constitutional state.
Your daily dedication, expertise, and sense of responsibility are the silent force behind a well-functioning legal practice and deserve sincere appreciation.
I would also like to extend a special word of thanks to my fellow board members.
Thanks to their dedication, vision, and voluntary commitment - often alongside a demanding professional practice - we, as a European professional association, remain a strong and unifying voice for notary staff.
Their work behind the scenes makes collaboration, advocacy, and professional development possible across borders.
They enable our European professional association to continue connecting and advocating for the interests of our members.
It is a privilege to work with such a motivated team.
I look forward with confidence to the coming year, in which we will continue to build a strong professional identity, knowledge sharing across borders, and close European cooperation.
I would also like to express my sincere thanks and appreciation to the European Association of Notaries (CNUE) for the open and constructive collaboration currently underway. The joint commitment to knowledge sharing and professional development, and in particular the exploration of the possibilities of also opening up the training courses organized by the CNUE to notary office staff, represents an important step forward. This collaboration not only strengthens the expertise of European notary staff but also the quality and sustainability of the notarial profession as a whole.
I thank you all for your trust and commitment and wish you an inspiring and successful new year.
Sincerely,
Rasschaert Ludwig
President
