| THE AMBER PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR 2007 |
| |
Dr ELZBIETA SONTAG
 The Amber Personality of the Year 2007 was revealed during Amberif 2008. This prestigious award is given by the International Amber Association. This time it went to Dr Elżbieta Sontag, academic at the University of Gdańsk, Head of the Museum of Amber Inclusions. The public’s tremendous applause was the best testimony that the Award’s Chapter made the right choice. Its chairman Wojciech Kalandyk described Ms Sontag as “an amber woman” who can fascinate even the most indifferent listeners with her passion, knowledge and storytelling. In her thank-you speech, Elżbieta Sontag reminisced that she was gradually getting used to amber’s extraordinary, magical nature, changing the attitude she had to “grandma’s beads” in her youth. “Thanks to the Amberif Fair, I realised how diverse and magnificent amber can be. It has become my love and my dream. It is thanks to the entire amber community that this passion, this dream can become true,” said the visibly moved award winner.
