APC JOURNAL | Volume 1 2018 edition
“ Tomorrow , is the first blank page of a 365 page book . Write a good one .” Brad Paisley , American singer-songwriter and musician
As we open the new book in our professional organization which is the Asia Pacific Council , may the quote I chose above will touch the many . Personally , I find myself , at times , overwhelmed by all that should get done in any given day . While we have all heard the expressions , which come in many forms , reminding us that each day is a new day , one of my “ resolutions ” for this year is to make every effort to remember that each day is in fact a new beginning that holds opportunity .
Our Chapter is extremely fortunate to be part of the Asia Pacific Council and indeed I am positive to the successful future endeavors that will happen . I believe that through collaboration of strengths of the chapters we can able to make outstanding programs that will develop our profession and push it to a global platform . I am confident that the Chapters are well positioned to continue to deliver on its mission and , ultimately , help the members to succeed . May the leaders and its team will work hard to serve the profession .
As ONE , Strong and Achiever Asia Pacific Council , I look forward to making a difference . May we all write our stories together …..
