SLAJ President's Post-Golden Jubilee AGM 2021 Notice

APPRECIATION


Good morning colleagues.

I believe we have all returned to our various destinations after what we (the Executive) believe was a wonderful Golden Jubilee AGM in Bo City.

We would not have had a successful annual conference if we, the members, did not attend and effectively participate.

For those of us who did not attend for one reasonable reason or the other, I hope you do attend next AGM.

So on behalf of the National and Regional Executives, especially our host SLAJ South, let me express our affectionate appreciation to all of you for making this AGM a memorable one.

Yet, as with all our AGMs, there were challenges here and there. We apologise for any discomfort or inconvenience experienced by any member.

So as the Executive meet this week for a postmortem of the AGM, we want to solicit your honest feedback or views on the entire program- from the preparations to the travel to Bo city, the lodgings, the food & drinks service, the opening ceremony, the football match, the bonfire, the closed session, the dinner and the travel back to our various homes. Even the way we, the elective officials, responded to your queries and concerns before, during, and afterthe the AGM. 

Your feedback and views will help us plan better for the next AGM which is an elective Congress in Makeni.

May I also congratulate all those recognised during the dinner for their contribution to the development of our Association in the last 50 years.. For those who were not recognised, it doesn't mean your support to SLAJ over the years is not worthy of recognition. Rather, one short night is not enough to award all of us, and so the Executive had to make a decision, considering a number of factors, including gender and regional balance. One day all of us who work sincerely and dedicatedly for SLAJ will be recognised. I hope this will inspire all of us to continue to work for SLAJ and contribute to its development. 

Finally, let me remind members that the 50th Anniversary celebration continues to December 31st 2021, and there are upcoming activities for which we will need the support and participation of all of us. We look forward to the Thanksgiving services, the golden jubilee media awards, the golden jubilee outing and many more.

Again, Happy 50th Birthday to us and let the celebrations continue as one united, strong, and determined SLAJ.

Once more a blessed Good Morning to all.
