Countdown to the Next Program Year

We only have three more months before we close out our program year 2012-2013 and start with a new one. In our
recently concluded April 24, 2013 General Membership meeting, we presented the list of candidates for the next program year. The Chapter is proud to announce that the Chapter Executive Committee (CEC) for AGA Guam’s 2013-2014 program year, are as follows:

President: Doreen Crisostomo
President-Elect: Rachel Field
Secretary: Clariza Roque
Treasurer: Bobbie Molarte

Congratulations to all! The Chapter knows that the new CEC will bring fresh ideas and continue to provide value our members through educational/professional events.  We wish you all the best.

One More Training to Go…

We have one more workshop for our members. This is the third and last installment of free CPEs to our valued members. On May 17, 2013, Dr. Karri Perez will conduct a workshop entitled, “Time Management: In A World Where Everything Is Needed Now” at the University of Guam’s Multipurpose Room, SBPA Building, from 8:30am to 12pm. Registration starts at 8am. Registration form and other details are available in our website (aga.guam.net). Please contact Rodalyn Gerardo at rgerardo@guamopa.com if you have any other questions.

And the Two Winners for the Scholarship to attend AGA National’s PDC in Dallas, Texas are…

We will pick two members who will win a scholarship to attend the PDC training, earn 24 hours of CPEs with hotel accommodation and PDC registration fee covered by the Chapter; this coming May 29, 2013 in our general membership meeting. You need to be present to win and also attended at least one community service event. We have emailed the members who qualified for this scholarship raffle. If you need additional community service hours, please contact Ariana Villaverde at ariana.villaverdez@gmail.com or Josie Villanueva at josiegv@gmail.com. For other details of the raffle, please contact Rachel Field at rfield@guamopa.org or Garry Yeoh at garry.yeoh@gu.ey.com.

We Need Volunteers, We Need Your Support

On July 13, 2013, we will have our 12th Annual 5K Run/Walk, which will
start at the Chamorro Village.  This annual event helps our Chapter raise funds for the Herminia Deirking Scholarship and also subsidizes our educational events, several of them given at no cost to our members. The planning committee for this year’s 5K Run/Walk is being organized by Ariana and Josie. Contact them if you are interested in assisting in this worthwhile event.

Again, thank you for supporting the Chapter, in its activities and causes.
I hope to see you in our next membership meeting this coming May 29, 2013 at the Outrigger Guam!
