Kemal Kartal, who was elected as President, shared his priorities for the 2023 / 2024 period at the general assembly. He stated that the slogan of his term is "WE ARE BRANDING WITH EDUCATION". He stated that he aims to introduce Osmanbey to Europe and especially to the American continent, and that one of his biggest goals is to provide trainings through various institutions on the issues that Osmanbey tradesmen and employees lack in order to move our power to higher levels while moving on this path. He said that one of the biggest goals is to further promote Osmanbey, which has produced the most distinguished companies of the ready-to-wear and textile market, which has progressed for four generations, abroad and to expand the range of value-added products produced in the world. He stated that by making special b2b programs for each category, they will increase the awareness of brands and contribute to exports. As the youngest president of the association to date, he stated that his first duty was not only to work at a desk, but also to visit all the stores on the streets of Osmanbey, where he spent his childhood, and to listen to suggestions and demands. Mr. Kartal, who said that he is a person who believes that women being at the forefront of such important institutions strengthens our sector even more, said that I increased the number of women in our Board of Directors to four by choosing our General Secretary as a woman. She thanked Ms. Eda Arpacı, from whom she took over the flag, and all the valuable presidents, board members and general secretariat team from the first day of OTİAD until now. He ended his words by thanking Şişli District Governorship, Şişli Municipality, TOBB, TIM, ITO, İHKİB and İTHİB for their support during his time in OTİAD. We wish 2023/2024 to be auspicious for the sector.
