A total of 90 guests comprising Uni-Y NUS, NTU, SMU
members, executive committee members, parents, school staff and YMCA staff came
together for UNIYte 2017, Uni-Y’s Annual General Meeting on 21 January 2017 at
YMCA of Singapore. The Annual General Meeting is a time for members to come
together to be aligned with the club’s direction for the new year as they move
ahead, united in purpose and mission. Mr Eric Teng, President, Mr Bryan Tan,
Honorary Secretary and Mr Lo Chee Wen, General Secretary, YMCA of Singapore
graced the occasion. They were joined by Mr Yoshihiro Sueoka, CEO and Mr Hiroyuki
Satoh, Executive Director, Osaka YMCA who were in Singapore to join the UNIYte
AGM as they wanted to find out more about Uni-Y.
Mr Tan Jing Qun, the outgoing Chairperson of
Council of Uni-Y 2017 and President of Uni-Y NUS gave an address of his
volunteering journey with Uni-Y and his appreciation of the outgoing Uni-Y
Executive Committee SMU UNIVERSITY STUDENT LIFE AWARDS CEREMONY members. He was
thankful for his peers who served alongside him in the executive committee and
was proud to “have lived up to our mission and matured both as a Uni-Y family
and as an individual.”
Another highlight of UNIYte included an award
presentation to one Uni-Y NUS and three Uni-Y SMU members for completing the
Uni-Y Community Champions Programme. The Programme is a year-long endeavour
which sees participants embarking on a journey of advocating change through
research and development and personal development, with both local and overseas
exposure.
As part of the ceremonial appointment, the outgoing
2016 Presidents from all three chapters handed over the reins of each club to
the incoming Presidents by passing on an encased plaque which represented the
continuation of Uni-Y’s work to develop and empower youth to be servant leaders
who impact local and international communities. In addition, the incoming
Presidents also received their letters of appointment from Mr Eric Teng.
Mr Lo ended the ceremony with a motivational talk
where he challenged the youth to step up and let their light shine.
