Welcome Jenny \u2013 our new Community Manager<\/h3>\n

Hello everyone, \ud83d\udc4b\ud83c\udffc<\/p>\n

Since April 1st, I've been part of the Air Cargo Community Frankfurt as the new Community Manager. I've already had the pleasure of meeting some of you in person \u2013 thank you for the warm welcome!<\/p>\n

For those I haven't met yet, here's a brief overview of my responsibilities: I will be supporting the People & Culture and Trucking competence teams at ACCF. I will also be responsible for organizing and leading the YACE team, as well as the increasing responsibility for our events.<\/p>\n

That's perfect, as I'm a trained event manager and can directly contribute my experience. After completing my studies in online communication and specialized journalism & corporate communications, I'm looking forward to applying my knowledge in marketing, PR, and project management here in the community.<\/p>\n

You can reach me either via j.berger@fra-fr8.com or at +4915129162101.<\/p>\n

And when I'm not working for the ACCF? Then you'll usually find me with a good book in the sun or outdoors doing some exercise \u2013 whether hiking, snowboarding, or doing Pilates.<\/p>\n

I'm looking forward to working with you and learning more about air freight \ud83d\udc9a
