Dr. Ralf Strauss, Chairman of the European Marketing Confederation, has been unanimously reappointed for a further two-year term, continuing his strong leadership and strategic guidance of the organization.

In addition, Chris Daly, Chief Executive of the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM, UK), has been reappointed as Vice Chair for another two-year term, reflecting the Board’s confidence in his ongoing contribution to EMC’s mission.

Following the departure of Alvyde Palaimaite from LIMA (Lithuanian Marketing Association), the position of Vice Chair became vacant.

The EMC Board expressed its great satisfaction with these developments, which strengthen the organization’s leadership team and ensure continuity and innovation in the years ahead.

Alongside these appointments, the Board also approved EMC’s new strategic plan for the next two years, outlining clear priorities to further enhance marketing standards, education, and professional recognition across Europe.
