    Happy Birthday INWA

    By INWA Admin | INWA 20 year anniversary in 2020, Latest News | Comments are Closed | 15 December, 2020 | 0

    Today, December 15th 2020 we celebrate the 20th Anniversary of INWA.

    This morning we started at 08.30 Central European Time with a great Anniversary Zoom meeting with our National INWA Meber organisations and National Trainers and INWA instructors from all over the world.

    President Aki Karihtala was surprised with not only a Happy Birthday Song, but also with some nice presents and INWA Anniversary cake, on behalf of all INWA members.
    His new T-shirt and jack with INWA logo will be worn with big pride.

    His words:
    I am honored and humble that I have had the possibility to lead this organization as the president for so many years. With our international network of member organizations we have been able to introduce Nordic Walking to millions of people all over the world from east to west and south to north. And the development continues. Thank you all!

    President of INWA – Aki Karihtala
