The One Club for Creativity, a global nonprofit organisation whose mission is to support the global creative community, has announced its latest lineup of board members, one of whom hail from the MENA region.
Fadi Yaish, founder and CCO of ‿ and us in Dubai, has been appointed to represent MENA on the International Board of Directors of The One Club for Creativity.
Board members are drawn from countries with the largest advertising communities, and selected based on three criteria: they must be prominent international creatives, be respected leaders in their given fields, and exert influence in their respective regions.
They are responsible for providing input and feedback on the club’s ongoing global programming, elevating The One Show and ADC Annual Awards in rankings in their regions, connecting the club with advertising and design universities and schools, and recommending outstanding candidates to serve as awards judges.
“One reason The One Club is so prestigious is because of its exceptional Board, an impressive group of the most prominent professionals in our field,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO. “Fadi is a renowned global creative leader who will play a key role in furthering our mission to support and elevate the global creative community, and solidify the relevance of our mission in MENA.”
The new International Board members will work closely with The One Club’s National Board, lead by chairman Glenn Cole, cofounder, creative chairman at 72andSunny, Los Angeles, and vice chair Pum Lefebure, cofounder, CCO at Design Army, Washington DC, to serve as ambassadors for and advisors to the non-profit organization.
Yaish is among a diverse group of 21 creative leaders from around the world who will begin three-year terms on the International Board.
