CAA Belgium's Fourth Reunion

Antwerp, October 13, 2023

 
From Marc Smits, CAA Belgium chapter coordinator: The Chase Manhattan Bank NA was very present in the Belgian banking world in the 1970s and 1980s.
 
Several young Belgian university graduates were recruited in this period, and most of these persons kept informal contacts with each other.
 
The fourth reunion was held on October 13, 2023 in the beautiful and classy rooms of  'Salons Schoeters' in Antwerp. It was such a pleasure meeting up, and Colette Selfslagh gave a great keynote speech.
 
Colette Selfslagh (photo, left), educated in Louvain, Belgium, is Managing Director, Global Market Infrastructures at J.P. Morgan, out of London.
