President's Message

02-10-09:

Dear Colleagues,

Spring is upon us. It is that time of the year again in we look for members to put their hands up and help out with the Committee for 2010. Colin King noted in 2006 that the ACMA Executive Committee “takes all comers: tall ones, short ones, round ones, thin ones, and even the ones that only eat Chinese food”. It is still the case in 2009. The nomination forms for all positions on the Executive Committee have been circulated by email to all members. And as usual, an election will be held at the upcoming AGM (Sunday 1 November 2009) if more than one nomination has been received for the key positions.

The 2009 Executive Committee has done a great job and achieved a lot for the year 2009. Among the highlights are: navigating the legal process and successfully registering ACMA as a charitable entity under the Charities Act 2005, developing a partnership agreement with ACC to promote and raise its profile in the Asian community, organizing a series of informative CME meetings, expanding the ACMA membership number and laying the foundation work for the 2010 ACCMA Conference to be held in Auckland. I am also delighted to report that ACMA is in a healthy financial shape, and we are very well-placed for 2010 and beyond. And yes, we are currently in the process of seeking a sponsor for the Doctors List - printed version.

I shall take this opportunity again to inform you that we will be hosting the 2010 ACCMA Conference at Auckland Stamford Plaza on Saturday 03 April 2010. Preliminary programme and registration forms will be distributed at the 2009 AGM to our members. Attendee numbers are capped at 100 and will be on a first-come-first-serve basis.

I look forward to meeting you at the AGM.

Best regards,

Dr Gee Hing Wong, FRNZCGP MMgt
