Greeting by the<br />
International President<br />
International Police Association (IPA)<br />
Happy Golden Jubilee!<br />
Anyone signing up for their first seminar at <strong>IBZ</strong> <strong>Gimborn</strong> usually knows<br />
the basics: it is a nice place, the seminar will be a good opportunity to<br />
meet colleagues from other countries, and the social moments carry on<br />
long after sunset and are an integral part of the experience.<br />
Once there, you will definitely fall in love with the peaceful atmosphere<br />
of the castle and its beautiful scenery. The interaction with the other<br />
participants of the seminar is unique, and you will bring back<br />
unforgettable memories of the long evenings and the social activities<br />
arranged in addition to the working sessions. And without doubt you<br />
will look forward to another chance to return to <strong>Gimborn</strong>!<br />
Director, René Kauffmann, who, together with his team, works with so much<br />
dedication and enthusiasm for the positive development of <strong>IBZ</strong> <strong>Gimborn</strong>.<br />
<strong>50</strong> years is a great achievement, but such an anniversary is also an<br />
opportunity to generate further interest and to encourage more people<br />
to join, and therefore ensure the future of this wonderful institution.<br />
Whether as an individual IPA member, or together as an IPA region,<br />
branch or section, make sure you seize the chance to support our education<br />
centre and sign up! “Mighty oaks from little acorns grow”, therefore every<br />
new member and every additional contribution is important for the<br />
future of <strong>Gimborn</strong>, a future that concerns us all and that we must ensure.<br />
The International Police Association is fortunate and honoured to benefit<br />
from such a long and wonderful partnership, which was established<br />
<strong>50</strong> years ago, in 1969. The information and education centre of <strong>Gimborn</strong><br />
is often referred to it as the flagship of our Association, which emphasises<br />
the importance of the friendship developed between our two institutions.<br />
This Golden Jubilee gives us the perfect opportunity to celebrate this<br />
precious treasure we have, and to thank the pioneers who had the vision<br />
and belief to lay the foundations of this unique international education<br />
centre, as well as all those who have worked hard over the past <strong>50</strong> years<br />
to maintain and develop our partnership. A special thank you to the current<br />
Happy Anniversary on behalf of the IPA International Executive Board<br />
and the entire IPA family.<br />
Long live <strong>Gimborn</strong>!<br />
Long live our partnership!<br />
