President's Message

26-08-10:

Dear Colleagues,

At a dinner function, one of my GP colleagues commented that he has heard of the excellent CME sessions organized by ACMA. However, he has never thought of joining ACMA because he has ‘disqualified’ himself on the basis that he is not a Chinese. You can imagine that I almost choked on my food when I heard that. I quickly corrected him on that statement. ACMA was formed in 1988 and has been a registered charitable entity under the Charities Act 2005 since June 2008. Its membership is opened to all New Zealand registered medical practitioners who share our passion ‘to develop and promote the cultural and professional well-being of Chinese New Zealanders’.

I have held the Association’s Presidency for two consecutive terms and will step down in November 2010. It has been an honour and great privilege to serve ACMA as its President. Together with the Executive Committee, we have achieved a lot in strengthening the governance and financial position of the Association. The Association should continue the effort in growing its membership number, and we still have a long way to go in achieving a self-sustaining financial position.

On that note, I would like to inform you that the nomination form for all positions on the Executive Committee is now available on our website . The positions on the Executive Committee are: President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, CME Coordinator and General Committee Members. As usual, an election will be held at the upcoming AGM (28 November 2010). I would encourage you to put your hands up and help out with the Executive Committee in 2011. You can fax the completed nomination forms to me at 09-478 3007 by 28 October 2010. Please ring me on 021 800 189 if you have any questions regarding the nomination and election.

I look forward to meeting you at our next CME on Sunday 12 September 2010.

Best regards,

Dr Gee Hing Wong, FRNZCGP MMgt
