24th May 2009 meeting

This meeting was very well attended with more than 20 members. The main agenda item was the election of officers and we now have the following as our Executive members:

President - Kingsley Ifudu
V.P - EMeka Okolo
Secretary - Gloria Oforka
AS.- Ngozi Okolo
Financial Secretary - Charles Oforka
Treasurer - Codelia Ojielo
Welfare Officer - Joe Enebe
AWO - Angela Ike
Provost - Codelia Ugwu

Our Former Chairman - Dan Nwankwo, led us for more than six years and he was examplary in his dedication to our Association. I cannot recall a meeting he missed bearing in mind that his job takes him all over the country. Many an association in the Uk have desolved or are in such tumoil disarray - our former Chair has played a great part in making sure that we are still going strong. The former Secretary - Angela Chigbo, has also done some good work and deserves our thanks. Every good thing comes to an end.
Let's hope that the new executive strengthen the Association and explore if there are any benefits to charitable status. We can look and take advice from others who have already gone that way.
