AOPA Luxembourg Announces New Executive Committee and Responsibilities
The newly elected board of AOPA Luxembourg recently held its first official meeting, marking the beginning of a new and energetic chapter for the association. As one of its first actions, the board decided to co-opt three new members to strengthen its leadership: Cristina Menendez, Julien Larigaldie, and Reinhard Krommes.
Together, they now form the Executive Committee of AOPA Luxembourg, a dedicated team that brings together fresh perspectives and deep experience in general aviation to serve our community.
This year, the Executive Committee decided not to appoint a Vice President, choosing instead to operate as a unified and collaborative leadership group.
