“Serving on the Executive Committee over the past year has been a real privilege and pleasure. Alongside my fellow ExCo members and dedicated secretariat, we have worked diligently developing and executing strategic initiatives aimed at delivering tangible results and enhanced value to our chamber members. If re-elected, I will continue to advocate for the interests of small businesses like ours and ensure our SME community is fully supported and represented. Looking ahead, I am optimistic about the opportunities that lie before us and confident that by fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation, we can collectively navigate the challenges of today and seize the opportunities of tomorrow. Therefore, on both a professional and personal level, I pledge a commitment to actively seek and promote such opportunities that will benefit our members and broader communities.”
