What We Do
Our association has made great strides in raising the profile of ABRA and its members both in Belgium and internationally. In addition, we actively work to support our members by identifying problems and providing solutions to issues that confront those in the relocation industry.
Past and present initiatives include representing members regarding legal formalities at City Halls, highlighting problems relating to health insurance for expats, promoting better relations between our members and the BIV/IPI, seeking solutions to insurance for relocation companies, and providing professional advice on VAT issues.
How We Do It
As a non-profit organisation, ABRA is funded entirely by membership fees and online advertisements. Meetings are hosted by ABRA Members. Leadership is provided on a voluntary basis by the Board of ABRA, which consists of the President and a minimum of three further Board Members.
The President is responsible for representing ABRA at any third party events and for external relations and press contacts. The Board has formed committees to deal with relocation issues, membership, events and communications matters and has an advisory role.
