Annual General Meeting

The AFS Antarabudaya Malaysia Annual General Meeting was recently held at the Mandarin Court Hotel Kuala Lumpur on the 2nd October, 2010. The fruitful meeting saw the coming together of volunteers, returnees and staff of various ages, racial, ethnic and even religious background in the united vision of voting for the future of AFS Malaysia. As such, AFS Malaysia Alumni would like to congratulate the four dedicated and visionary volunteers re-elected to serve for the next two terms as AFS board member:

Dr. Yahya Mat Hassan

Mrs. Khalilah 'Kelly' Dato Mohd Talha

Mr. Bernard Poobalan

Mr. Thiruchelvam

We would like to thank all who took the time and effort to exercise participate in this year's AGM and have exercised your right to vote as an AFS member. For *those who were unable to make it this time around, there is always next year so make sure you come!

On another joyous note, 2010's AGM is particularly memorable and significant for us here in the AFS Malaysia Alumni because, for the first time ever, the AFS Malaysia Alumni was invited to take part and participate in the Chapters Presidents’ meetings held alongside the AGM. The leaders of our Alumni were given the privileged platform to address, understand, and help give solutions to current and potential problems arising in all AFS related programs.

The AFS Alumni President Chong Cheng Yee and Vice-President Suraya Zainuddin both expressed their heartfelt appreciations to the National Office for including the Alumni within their ranks of discussions. The AFS Alumni is looking forward to continuing our strive in doing our very best in helping to anticipate the needs of AFS Chapters as well as provide help in volunteer support as needed. We hope to serve well in our goal to develop a reserve of well-informed, all rounded volunteers in the future.

Till then,

We'll see you again next year at the 2011 AFS Antarabudaya Malaysia Annual General Meeting!
