FROM
THE PRESIDENT:
Greetings
to all!! Time really does fly. I
feel honored to serve as your
President for the next two years.
The other Officers as well as the
Directors of our organization who
have made commitment to be
actively involved need to be
commended for their dedication. I
also take my hat off to those
members who have helped and
continue to be active behind the
scenes. The synergism created adds
more value to our cumulative
efforts. As
someone has said before,
“working together is success.”
To that, I might add that we will
continue the journey, and together
“we will do it.”
We
have made much progress since
FALEA’s formation in 1993. We
will continue to carry the legacy
of our forbears to whom we
dedicate our on-going efforts. We
are now an
Internal Revenue Code
Section 501(c)(3) organization
through the establishment of the
FALEA Foundation last year. This
opens up many opportunities to
nurture this status for the
benefit of the organization and
our membership. This can and will
be accomplished only with
perseverance, dedication and
commitment because although this
new status opens up tremendous
opportunities, it also has its
self-imposed limitations due to
the specific nature of activities
that we can be involved in.
We
will continue to enhance services
to our membership and offer more
opportunities for everyone to get
involved. We will continue to
offer scholarships to deserving
students and explore other
possibilities to encourage or
generate more interest among high
school students to get into the
profession. We will also continue
to reward deserving individuals
for their personal accomplishments
as well as service to the
organization and community. These
are basically summed up in
FALEA’s stated mission “to
promote a high standard of
professionalism by fostering
opportunities for career
advancements and to promote unity,
friendship, camaraderie, and
mutual assistance among its
members.”
So,
Faleans, LET’S DO IT!
Mabuhay
& Much Aloha,
John
