Though this is a challenging period for BC with the pending exit of our outstanding Secretariat Officer, I wish to assure you that our Operations will not suffer as I'm convinced that the Excomm (BC Officers and Councilors) will make appropriate decisions for the continuous smooth running of the BC.</div><div><br></div><div>In the meantime, I wish to thank the outgoing Vice-Chair (Finance & Operations) Chris Chaplow and the Finance Committee members for their excellent work and support which I believe will continue beyond the transition period. Thanks also to Glen for overseeing the election process.</div><div><br></div><div>Again, thank you all, I hope to see many of you in Singapore.</div><div><br></div><div>Warm regards,</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">--------------------------------------------------------------</span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Jimson Olufuye, fncs, ficma, PhD</span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">CEO Kontemporary® </span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Chair, AfICTA</span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">connecting African ICT players & </span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">... fulfilling the promise of the Digital Age for everyone in Africa.</span><br><a style="font-family: verdana, geneva;" href="http://www.aficta.org">www.aficta.org</a><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;"> </span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;"><a href="http://www.kontemporary.net.ng">www.kontemporary.net.ng</a></span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">M: +234 802 3183252</span><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">Skype: jolufuye</span><br><br><span style="font-family: verdana, geneva;">This email is for the exclusive recipient/s and it may contain confidential materials.
