President’s Message…

25th AGM, 27 Aug 2011

Warmest greetings to one and all.

Time flies and 2011 has indeed been a very busy year for the Society. Since the last AGM, the Council had been laying the groundwork and making preparations for the Asia-Pacific Conference on Ageing (APCA), which was from 24th - 26th March 2011. It was also a joyous occasion for the Society as we celebrated the 25th Anniversary.

For a 3-day conference, you cannot imagine the number of meetings involved, and the effort and time organizing it. And we did it with a modest budget and small secretariat with lots of volunteers. My sincere thanks to the Organizing Chairman, Mr Laurence Wee, Scientific Committee Chairman, A/P Prof Goh Lee Gan, Shirley, Tristan and many others who as supporting cast ensured the success of this splendid conference.

Looking ahead, we will be organizing the Annual Conference on Ageing (ANCA) next year. It will be a wonderful conference to look forward to - more details later.

Once again, we need the support of all members and partners.

Thank you.

Professor Kua Ee Heok
