Highlights from the YMCA Special and Annual General Meetings on 20 May 2014

 

The YMCA Special and Annual General Meetings were held on Tuesday, 20 May 2014 at YMCA of Singapore.

A SGM was convened this year for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing a resolution to create the position of an additional Vice President with the objective of spreading out the responsibilities of the office bearers. The meeting voted unanimously in favour of the resolution and accepted the proposed amendments to the YMCA Constitution to effect the creation of this new position.

During the AGM, Mr Stephen Loh, President, YMCA of Singapore shared highlights from the various areas of YMCA’s work in serving the community in 2013 (click here to read the full transcript of Mr Loh’s speech).
