Moving Forward into 2021

Dear AWA Members,

I hope you have been enjoying the year 2021 and have been continuing to explore and enjoy Singapore! This March and April will bring the themes of Women Supporting Women and International Women’s Day plus ‘Fashion with a COVID Twist’ to the AWA! The AWA will Deb Minnock be offering many events to President celebrate women in March, and events to celebrate Fashion in April. Who doesn’t love these topics?! Honoring and remembering women in general is always great. And I love all the beautiful masks and coordinating face coverings with fabulous fashion in our current lives. In fact, I always love a bit of stylish flair. March and April will also feature the Nominating Committee working hard to fulfill the slate of officers for the AWA for 2021-2022. Typhaine Zagoreos de Bure is leading the Nominating Committee this year, and while some Board members will be able to stay on the Board, some are moving away from Singapore or their two-year service in their position has ended. If you have been wondering how to get more involved with the AWA, or if you would like to be of good service to your AWA Community, please let us know. We want you! Watch the AWA calendar and the bi-weekly “Blast” email for further details. There also will be a Leadership Coffee on March 15 at 10:30am and March 17 at 1pm to find out more about positions available.

As always, the list of thank you's is long, but I’d like to emphasize a big thank you to Typhaine de Bure for all of her help and guidance in chairing the Nominating Committee. Thank you to Venta Norvilas, Major Events Chair, and to Kristen Mooney, VP/Membership, for all your fantastic efforts for the AWA. And finally, thank you to all the chairs and volunteers who help to make our organization so welcoming and fun each and every day, week, and month.

Kind regards to everyone,

Deb
