Thomas Arn has provided great support to us Swiss Abroad. He is ever present in ensuring that we are well connected and fully informed on the multitude of Swiss campaigns reflective of our interests from abroad. I am in full support of Thomas Arn being once again considered for re-election for the Council of the Swiss Abroad in the spring of 2025.

Note: Our sincere condolences to Sonja's family, as we learned of her recent passing.

I am pleased to support Thomas in his candidacy for re-election to the Council of the Swiss Abroad. Thomas has consistently demonstrated outstanding dedication to representing the interests of Swiss citizens abroad. One of Thomas’s key contributions has been his efforts to share important Swiss news with the Swiss community, particularly around elections and referendums. His commitment to keeping us informed and engaged has been invaluable and highlights his passion for fostering a strong connection between Switzerland and Canada. I have had the privilege of working closely with Thomas through the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce as well as through the Swiss Edelweiss Village Foundation and have witnessed his dedication firsthand. I strongly endorse Thomas and encourage others to support him as well.

I have known Thomas for over five years, and have had the pleasure to work with him at the Swiss Chamber of Commerce, as well as at their long-standing private business in Vancouver. For the past year, we have worked together in the executive committee at the Swiss Chamber with Thomas executing the role of president and myself as Vice President. Thomas is a pleasure to work with and a dedicated, smart and professional leader who has demonstrated strong strategic thinking on many occasions. Thomas Arn was born and raised in Switzerland and his passion for representing the Swiss community abroad is clear for all to see. He continually shows his interest in politics, the economy, culture, and social issues through the work he has accomplished in his duties and engagements with the Swiss communities here and abroad. Thomas Arn continues to be an excellent choice for a role in Council for the Swiss Abroad and I would recommend him for the role again.

Thomas genuinely cares about the well-being of the Swiss abroad, as demonstrated during his first term as Delegate for the Organization of the Swiss Abroad. His deep connections within both the Canadian and Swiss communities, forged through his business ventures and his role as President of the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce for Western Canada, reflect his dedication to fostering cross-cultural ties. With his natural openness, sincere interest in others, and a strong network, Thomas is uniquely positioned to be the ideal representative for the Swiss abroad community.

Thomas Arn is a valuable member of OSA. He is aware of the challenges faced by the Swiss abroad and strives to find ways to make their lives easier. During his first term as a delegate, he developed a good understanding of how politics work and how best to get involved. I strongly recommend Thomas for re-election and trust that he will continue his efforts for the benefit of the Swiss living in Canada.

Thomas currently serves as President of the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce (Western Canada) and has been a dedicated board member for many years. His extensive experience in community involvement and his deep understanding of the needs and aspirations of Swiss expatriates make him an ideal candidate for this role. He has been a delegate of the CSA since 2021, ensuring that the voices of Swiss citizens abroad are heard and respected. I am confident that Thomas will continue to bring valuable insights, unwavering commitment and a passionate voice to the Council of the Swiss Abroad. His election would undoubtedly benefit the Swiss community in Western Canada and contribute positively to the broader goals of the Council.

Through our collaboration on the Board of Directors of the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce, I’ve gotten to know and appreciate Thomas. His broad and strategic thinking helps any organization and business expand and strive for new heights. For the last 4 years, Thomas has represented our interests at the OSA with thoroughness, tenacity and passion. I don’t think we could ever find a better and more qualified delegate and I sincerely hope that Thomas will be our voice at the OSA for another four years.

I've known Thomas for over 40 years. He is proactive, committed, humorous and he runs a successful company together with his wife Diana. We have always been in contact over the years and he is a loyal friend.

Thomas’s dedication to the Swiss community is unmatched. His work brings real opportunities and a sense of belonging to Swiss citizens in Canada.

Thomas Arn has been a Delegate for the Swiss Abroad Organization (OSA) for the past 4 years. I strongly support Thomas to remain as a Delegate for another 4 year period. Thomas is organized, dedicated and connects well with the Swiss Community at large. He forwards OSA information diligently to the people concerned and is always prepared to answer questions and assist people with their concerns. Thomas has good relations with the Swiss Consulate General in Vancouver and the Honorary Swiss Consul in Calgary. It also is most beneficial that Thomas travels to Switzerland several times a year not only to attend OSA Meetings and Conferences but also being in touch with current matters in Switzerland.

As an entrepreneur, Thomas has been supporting the Swiss community in Canada for many years. I hope that he can continue this important work in the Council of the Swiss Abroad
