Member of the Year
The CRN Member of the Year is announced each year at the AGM based on a nomination process involving all members. Above all it recognises an ethical, fair company that has done its upmost to work with other organisations within the CRN, whilst exceeding the expectations of clients and partners.
This year’s winner was Elakustik from Germany.
Jo Debono, chairperson CRN, comments on the outcomes of the AGM : “Gathering together each year is vital for a network like ours, with such distant members. Whilst networking and catching up are an important part to the meeting, it also allows us to learn from each other, re-energise the network and recognise those such as Elakustik who are doing particularly good work in the field and on behalf of the network”
Next year’s AGM will take place in Hong Kong, hosted by Polyglot Translations.
