Stephan Joest (D), Honorary Member

We are pleased to confirm Stephan Joest has accepted the Board’s invitation to become an Honorary Member of the ACI. He joins four existing Honorary Members, Claude Satinet, David Conway, Jean-Francois Ruchaud and Herman Sluiter. 

Over the last 20 years Stephan has worked tirelessly to create a visual awareness of the ACI to the Citroen community. He took responsibility for ACI Marketing & Communications during his term of office and amongst other things, singlehanded, created and maintained the ACI website. As a key figure in the German ACI he has also regularly kept all ACI Delegates updated with any matters from this market that might possibly be of interest to those outside Germany. 

On behalf of the ACI, the Board thanks Stephan for all he has done to help make the Organisation as strong as it is today. His considerable effort to date will continue to be appreciated – particularly by all who visit the website. Stephan will remain a delegate for Germany and we hope it will not be too long before he once again has time to contribute to the ongoing success of the ACI in his new role as Honorary Member. In the meantime we wish him luck with his work with the German ACI and hope he may now find a little more time to indulge his passion for the Ami 6. 

Carl who has been one of the “grandfathers” of the Amicale Citroen Internationale and actively supporting the international movement long time before the official foundation of the organisation, has been active also in various roles eg. as treasurer of Citroen clubs in France and Sweden. Most of us know him also as a member of the organisation of the famous “EuroCitro” gatherings in Le Mans, and many ACI Delegates have met him at our last AGM in January 2010 and in earlier years resp. on the Citroen club stands at Retromobile.

His activities, contributions and active involvements in the formal establishment of ACI have been honored in 2004 with his appointment as one of the ACI Honorary Members.

We certainly will miss a passionate and dedicated “Citroeniste du Coeur” and we are sure that he will be part of our memories for years to come.

In deep sorrow

The ACI Board.

Claude Satinet

With the last AGM, all Delegates have agreed to approach Mr. Claude Satinet, ex-CEO of Citroen, inviting him to become a Honorary Member of the Amicale Citroen Internationale.

We are happy to announce that Mr. Satinet has accepted our proposal. We welcome him as a Honorary Member of our organisation.
