“It’s truly an honor to receive the Eliason Merit Award 2019. In a time when physical and mental health, good nutrition, and a balanced lifestyle feel more vital than ever, I’m humbled and grateful. In my experience, the value of dreaming big and working hard cannot be overstated, and I hope to serve as an inspiration to other Swedes to venture out and do just that.”

These past six months have been a blast for me! I feel honored to have had the opportunity to kickstart my career with such an amazing community, boss and colleagues. When I get back to Sweden, I look forward to showing my home country to my American girlfriend, eat some freshly caught fish and make the most of the short but oh so beautiful Swedish summer. – William Byagard

I have had the best experience here at SACC-LA where I feel I have developed as a person, both professionally and personally, and I am so thankful for my amazing colleagues, the board and all of our amazing members. I can’t wait to get back to Los Angeles for their future events and to meet everyone again! I am going to stay in Los Angeles over the summer, to then go back to Lund University to start my MSc in International Marketing and Brand Management which I am very much looking forward to. But I will meet you all (in real life) again! – Klara Dunehav

A big thank you to the SACC-LA board and network for 6 amazing months! It was with great enthusiasm I accepted the role as PR & Communication Marketing Manager and I am still very grateful for this opportunity. I have learnt a lot, both professionally but also personally from my time at the chamber. Thanks to the most incredible team possible, Klara D and William, for these months together as colleagues but also for the lifetime friendship we will continue having. I will enjoy the Swedish summer in the Northern archipelago and look forward to mastering my masters degree this upcoming semester, see you soon again LA!  – Klara Nygren
