New Exco for MDS

MDS held its first Annual General Meeting today at the Alexandra Hospital, with President Sam Fong presenting a report of the society's activities in the last year.

The society has a membership of more than 150 and events organised ranged from regular sharing sessions to talks by experts, as well as a roadshow and computer tutorial.

MDS has also been a key partner and supporter of the annual nationwide AMD Awareness Week in Singapore.

MDS also elected a new Executive Committee to serve a two-year term from July 2008 to June 2010. Sam Fong, Sharon Siddique, Peh Shing Huei and Anny Leow remained in the Exco, with Lee Soo Mien, Doreen Heng and Lim Hsiu Mei coming onboard. Doris Peh and Evelyn Chew have also been chosen as honorary auditors for the new term.

Former Exco member Steven Lo declined to stand for re-election and the MDS would like to express its sincere gratitude to him for his time and service. In particular, the computer tutorials he conducted both at his home and at the SNEC last month have been well-received and most helpful.

The new Exco will choose its office bearers of president, secretary and treasurer after their first meeting. Details will be posted here.
