FAREWELL FROM CHRISTIAN M. JACOBS
After 24 years on the UFB Board of Directors, of which 21 as Chairman, it is with emotion and confidence that I pass the baton to Pierre Francotte, your new President. I have no doubt that, under his leadership and Katrien Goossens’ effective management, UFB will continue to grow and to remain one of the most efficient charitable institutions in Belgium.
