FAOPMA is planning to conduct many extra activities this year, and an important one will be attracting new country members. It was agreed at the AGM in Hong Kong that having many more new country members join FAOPMA would make our federation better and more developed. Furthermore, it was resolved that FAOPMA should include the Middle East region in our regular membership. We also considered whether our membership could reach out to Africa in the near future. These efforts will be led by our newly appointed Membership Committee, but we all need to play our own part. I believe that our Member Associations in each country will have a very busy start to the new year.

Please send us details of your news or events any time, so that we can share your information through the FAOPMA homepage, the PPM newsletter or by email notices from our Secretariat. Finally, the 26 th FAOPMA Convention this year will be hosted in September Penang, Malaysia (See pages 7 & 8 … Ed.). As you know, PCAM members and Organising Committee Chairman/FAOPMA Vice President Raymond Lee, have been proactively promoting this event for years, and hopefully, you will already have great interest in beautiful Penang and the various informative sessions he has planned. So, please refer to PCAM’s event brochure, plan your schedule NOW and encourage many members to come with you. www.FAOPMA2015.com I hope you give your warm support to the hosting country.

FEBRUARY 2015 ISSUE Website: http://www.faopma.com
The 2015 year has just begun and I trust that you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season!
In my greeting message for
the first issue of last year, I
mentioned that 2014 was the
Year of the Horse according
to the Chinese Zodiac. Now,
2015 is the Year of the Sheep,
representing peace, tranquility,
freshness and eternity and
bringing good luck. Therefore, I wish everyone a successful and wealthy 2015 year through your own lucky blue sheep! FAOPMA is planning to conduct many extra activities this year, and an important one will be attracting new country members. It was agreed at the AGM in Hong Kong that having many more new country members join FAOPMA would make our federation better and more developed. Furthermore, it was resolved that FAOPMA should include the Middle East region in our regular membership. We also considered whether our membership could reach out to Africa in the near future. These efforts will be led by our newly appointed Membership Committee, but we all need to play our own part.
I believe that our Member Associations in each country will have a very busy start to the new year. Certainly, those of us in KPCA are already planning our regular education programs and small and big events for 2015. Do you have any good news or plans in your organization to share with us? Please send us details of your news or events any time, so that we can share your information through the FAOPMA homepage, the PPM newsletter or by email notices from our Secretariat. Finally, the 26th FAOPMA Convention this year will be hosted in September Penang, Malaysia (See pages 7 & 8 … Ed.).
