We’re excited to introduce a new experience for GBA members in 2025: “Meet the GBA Board Members” – a relaxed, interactive session designed to connect you with the GBA Board in a more personal and meaningful way.

This new series was inspired by you – our members. In our annual membership survey, many of you shared that you’d love more industry-specific discussions and regular touchpoints with the Board. We’ve listened — and we’re making it happen!

Building on the spirit of last year’s “Coffee Talks with Your Board Caretaker”, this new format offers a warm, welcoming setting for open conversations, strengthens engagement between members and the GBA board, provides deeper insights, and fosters genuine connections.

Event details: 

• Date: Thursday, 12 June 2025
• Time: 9 AM – 11:15 AM
• Venue: GBA/AHK Office, 4th Floor, Deutsches Haus, 33 Le Duan Blvd., District 1, HCMC

What to expect:

• A casual chat with GBA Board members and fellow members.
• Open discussion on industry trends, challenges, and what’s ahead.
• A chance to share your views, raise questions, and exchange updates relevant to your sector.
• A quick update on what’s happening at GBA — and how we can support each other and grow together as a community.

First Session Theme: Healthcare & Agriculture

We’re kicking off the series with GBA Board members, each bringing their unique perspectives:

• Mr. Maximilian Rummert – Managing Director & CFO, Bayer Vietnam: Max will share his views on the importance of partnerships in agriculture and how they can drive growth. If there’s interest, sustainability may also be explored.
• Ms.Minh Nguyen – Country Lead, Allianz Partners Vietnam: Minh will share insights on Healthcare insurance innovation and access, and explore What healthcare can learn from the agriculture sector.

Expect real stories, sector reflections, and meaningful exchanges. Whether you’re from these industries or simply curious, your voice matters – and we’d love to hear it.

Enjoy a relaxed morning with coffee, pastries, and great conversations! Light breakfast will be served from 9 AM – 9:20 AM.

In addition to the theme of the day, we’ll also share upcoming GBA highlights, give you a glimpse into how members are engaging with the association, and most importantly, hear your thoughts and ideas for GBA’s continued growth and community spirit.

Please RSVP by Friday, 30 May 2025 to help us prepare a welcoming space for all. As we aim to keep the session engaging and interactive, seats are limited – confirmations will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

We look forward to welcoming you, exchanging ideas, and sharing this exciting new session with you.
