Hi Craig,
The Asian chapters are concerned about how their voice will be heard in the new board. Many feel they have been ignored, and would like board candidates to show support for development in Asia. While some have met you, most have not, so they have nothing with which to believe you can be a voice for Asia rather than only Australia,
They are already aware of our chapters programs in building ties with our fellow chapters in Asia, and your involvement and support of this, but they seek more detailed information about what you would aim to achieve for Asia if appointed to the board.
Would you please write a letter to the Asian chapter boards indicating your position on this issue, and other aspects you feel would be relevant to garner their support. Either send direct to their boards, address it to all using this private list, or publish it and send a link to this list.
Regards, John Vandenberg (on a bus near Harvey Bay, Queensland :)
