President’s
Message
Greetings to all members of the Gerontological
Society.
Welcome to the New
Normal. The Covid19 pandemic has brought about major economic and social
devastation. While businesses and other institutions are struggling and
adapting to this new normal, we too have been affected.
We have just
successfully concluded our 34th Annual General Meeting via
zoom and held our first ever online forum titled “Challenges and
Opportunities for Gerontology in the New Normal” with members. We thank
Council members Ms Phyllis Lee and Ms Anita Ho for serving two years as
our Hon. Treasurer and Asst Treasurer. Taking over will be Mr Wong Lit
Shoon and Mr Laurence Wee. We thank Dr Tan Jit Seng for our accepting
the nomination to be our Hon. Auditor for this financial year.
We also want to thank
the following individuals and organizations for their invaluable
contributions and support to the Society:
-
Mr Arthur Lim
as Hon. Auditor for FY 2019/20
-
Mr Dennis Lim
for continuing as Hon. Legal Advisor
- Mr Raymond
Lim, Hon. Member, for his generous support to the Society
- Prof Kua Ee
Heok, Hon. Advisor, for continued guidance to the Council

- Singapore
University of Social Sciences
- Temasek

The Society will be
organizing a series of webinars to address some of the pertinent issues
raised at this recent forum. We have progressed much over the last 34
years and much credit does to the early pioneer members. The Society
would not have existed and continued on till today without these
volunteers, all sharing one common purpose and passion – to promote
Gerontology.
Next year is the 35th
anniversary of the Society and we hope to organize something to make it
a memorable one. If you have any ideas and/or would like to contribute
in some way, do write to the Council via
admin@gs.org.sg .
In the meantime,
continue to Stay Safe and Healthy!
Sincerely
Tristan Gwee
President
