Shekhar Divadkar, a member of Skål International since 2007, has held various key positions during his 15 years’ Skål International membership, being Club Treasurer, Secretary and Vice President, National Secretary for Skål International India and presently Secretary for Skål International Asia, he is also member of the Skål International President's Committee for Statutes and By-laws. 

While continuing the tempo which was set by Past President Ernest Dias, Shekhar and his Skål International Goa Board Members have a vision of creating a niche for the Club in the areas of Conservation of Environment, CSR, Social Causes concerning our Industry – Hospitality & Travel, to archive the history of Skål International Goa to follow statutory requirements and above all giving Skål International Goa a voice in India, in Asia and the World.

This would bring about a better visibility for Skål International Goa on the local, national, and international platform.
