Dear friends,
This past month has been particularly gratifying. We have been able to get some more of our planned initiatives going, in line with the objectives that we had set out for ourselves.
Our primary objective has always been to give our Members a platform to voice their opinions and share their concerns. What started as an informal discussion on a WhatsApp group, eventually proved to be a breeding ground of ideas and topics that fuelled our first ever virtual Quarter Members Meeting. With more than half the Members in attendance, I think we have managed to create a sound platform and set a terrific precedent for subsequent interactions.
The vision of CITLoB also entails creating greater visibility for the association and thereby its members. In that sense, our newsletter and our series of soon-to-be-launched webinars become important tools. They have and will allow us to reach out to the national and international thought leaders of our industry and share their ideas, experiences, knowhow and best practices with our Members. I am happy that after successfully launching and sustaining our newsletter, IndoVox, September also saw a lot of groundwork being done for our first webinar that already garnered over a hundred signups.
Last but not the least, elections are the essence of any democratically run organisation and we have also done a fair amount of work during the past month for our upcoming biennial elections. Our new governing body will now have four Regional Vice Presidents, apart from a President. This will help us strengthen our presence in every corner of our country.
A lot of exciting things coming up in October on the backdrop of many members reporting that their businesses are picking up too. What can I say, we are indeed living in exciting times!
Take care and stay safe all of you. Happy reading and happy CITLoBing.
